: I like to glass the deck before working on the coaming. After
: building the coaming wall and applying a fillet of thickened
: epoxy, a bias-cut strip of glass easily conforms to the
: coaming/deck joint. Are you going to build a wooden or a
: composite coaming?

: I agree with the others; that's some beautiful work! What kinds of
: wood did you use? Are the lightest colored strips Maple? That's
: going to look even better when you wet it out. Keep the pictures

: Pedro Almeida

Agree with Pedro, definately glass before. Decks usually have enough odd contours to deal with, don't need to make it more complex.

Also agree, very pretty :)
