Staining, Staining, and more Staining...

The other day, I stained the bow deck. The wood, being extremely dry, soaked up the stain like a sponge. As such, it came out a tad darker than I expected. It's not offensively dark, just about a half-shade darker than some of the other wood. Once the chrome pieces are put back on, I don't think it'll be noticeable.


Today, I did some work out in the boat house. But I didn't bring the camera. I did some more work taking apart the mechanicals and re-running the cables. The existing wiring for the choke and ignition, with a little rearranging was able to reach the dash from the starter box. No new wiring needed.

Later, I started staining the bench seat and the panels for the interior. I may not have mentioned that I am going to line the interior with wood panels. I figure it would be easier than stripping and refinishing the inside of all the planks and ribs. Plus, some Lymans were sold with panelled interiors as optional features.
