Varnish!

I wasn't going to leave any of the mahogany plywood "bright", but it happened anyway. I had used up the leftover resin from putting things together to seal the plywood, intending to paint over it all. Trouble was, it was unwaxed resin and I couldn't sand it without gumming up and throwing out sandpaper, so I put some waxed resin on top.

When I saw how nice the wood looked bright, I decided I didn't want to paint it! At least, the decks and the seat tops.

The decks were varnished on the bench and set on the boat for someplace to put them while the varnish dried.


The tape on the gunnels was to keep the varnish that was leaking through the screw holes in the decks from getting on the gunnels.
