Good day plus weather. No rain, everyday they say rain and luckily it passes.
Got another coat on the ruff after sanding and acetone. Next went to the last 2 windows and installed gaskets.
The rubber definitely gives the finger tips a work out when you have to spread it on the flat runs and...
Early start today. I was going to varnish/small repairs on the console deck. Did some research, talked prior to Woodonglass and had recollections come back to this ole fart. I bought a spar urethane thinking I grabbed a spar varnish. Oh well....reorder for tomorow delivery.

Picked up some African quarter sawn ribbon walnut veneer. Off amazon/ Hd. So today I prepped up the console deck, cut/fit the veneer, applied and stained. Will follow up with varnish. Happy considering its a 1st and I'm a carpenter hack.
Yesterday I made a console templatebase, it will @ 3/4" void between existing and new. The intention is to be able to pull wires under, over to both sides to a wire chase and be concealed.
Today took template pcs. and cut out for fit. Fits and looks good. 3/8" bcx. Waiting on paint for interior...

Getting close to paint. Very happy with the progress. Some pics show how sloppy my boat is, others show progress,also sanding alot of slop from overtime and wishing that myself and others protect the other surfaces. I...
Cut some ply to look like extended bracket for ruff. Little rough but does the job. Pb'd them into place and
