hi gang. i'm nearly finished stripping the deck and i'm thinking ahead to the cockpit. i have a few strips of purple heart in my stash and i'm thinking about using them to form the coaming lip. has anyone tried steam bending this beautiful wood? how did you make out with it?
all the best of the season;
