Sorry for the delay on this. I have been horrendously busy for the past several weeks (still am). This is just a scan, not a good photo. Both of these are made of multiple laminations of wood veneer and 3.25 oz. fiberglass cloth. The top fitting is for deck bungies and the bottom fitting is for perimeter deck lines. One leg of the fitting is epoxied through the deck and the other to the deck surface. The bungie fitting is three layers of cloth sandwiched between 4 layers of veneer and the deck line fitting is three layers of veneer and two of cloth.

These seem somewhat similar to what Ross posted a while back, but these are regular thickness veneer and have the cloth. For the deck bungie fitting I wrap the veneer over a 60 degree edge 2 by with the corner radiused. The deck line fittings are formed over a 1/4" bead edge strip. Wet the veneer in hot water and clamp it over the form until dry. Then glue up. All the wood grain goes the same way. Doesn't matter with the cloth. You can stand on the blanks, they don't even bend.

On strip decks, I recess under the fitting about 1/8" to keep the fittings low. The bungie fitting sticks up only a bit more than 1/4", the deck line fitting a bit less.

I will be bringing some kayaks with these fittings (S&G, not strippers) to the Great Lakes Symposium in Grand Marais, Michigan next weekend. (that's one of the reasons I have been so busy)
