mcdermitt Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I am fast approaching the decking of my cs-17 I lack painting the floor and sides of the trunk. The decking material has all been varnished and fitted. So I want to start working on the combing. What is the preferred material. I have some 4 inch wide yellow pine that is pretty striated grained It is reouph sawn but I can get it planned to any thickness I guess If I get ti planned do I need to soak it in water for a whileI want toput it in water before decking and doing the rigging and all that look for leaks and mark water line then paint the bottom since the bottom is just covered with allgrip 545 primmerThanksFloyd McDermittCarrollton, Ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnjost Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am using 1/4" Okoume.. I am sure that with some wetting/and heating it will bend in just fine. I am only going as far as the forward edge of the center seat so as to leave the deck a little more comfortable for sitting on. We are at the same stage. Would love to see some photos!
