Clock and Barometer installation October 1 2005 at 10:46 PM		Paul (no login)


The woodwork in these photos is sanded with a block sander and finished with wipe on satin polyurethane. Many coats went on before the clock and barometer were installed. They go nicely with the brass lamp we added at the dinette and help carry out the “brass and mahogany” theme in the boat. That photograph, by the way, shows one of my mahogany speedboats docked at an “all sailboat marina”. We were not real sure they were happy to see us! Regards, Paul 1966 Chris Craft Commander Express Original 427 Power
