Ah! So they're balsa!!
At first glance pics 1 to 3 I thought they were chocolate or custard cream biscuits πππ Nice work Rick, very comfy. Something like that should work in my Sea Scout cockpit as well. Cheers, Doug π ▲

Thanks Trev.
Yes fabric is mine. I didn't like the idea of leaving the balsa to shape and paint. For me it just didn't work. Rick ▲

Please pardon me if I missed it, but what kind of cloth did you use for the cover? It looks really good.

Rick, is the roof a canvas on the actual vessel? What material did you use to make the roof? It looks very nice.

Why would you want to stain mahogany?!
It has such a wonderful grain and colour of it's own. Attached are pics of the mahogany cabin roof on my restored Sea Scout. after sanding and dust removal I sealed it with 2 coats of Lord Nelson sealer. (Nowadays I use EzeKote diluted with ca 20% water.) Then several coats of Lord Nelson varnish and a final spray coat of the clear lacquer used on cars as a final coat for scratch resistance and UV protection. Lots n lots of sanding with ever finer W&D between coats. And several buckets of patienceπ€ Cheers, Dougπ Here my Sea Scout renovation blog. ▲

Sounds Like a Plan, Rick π
On the Typhoon, after staining, I coated the Mahogany with Epoxy before varnishing. My mistake was, I used the wrong Hardner. When Epoxy is used as a clear coat there is a special Hardner, otherwise you can get some blushing. Which you can faintly see in some areas in a certain light. Trev ▲
