: You're correct. It is flat-grained sapele. I took one board about
: 8" wide and resawed it on the bandsaw (ie flat planks
: 3/16" thick x 8" wide). Two pieces made the fore deck,
: the other two, the aft, hence double-book-matched. To make the
: flat planks fit the contours of the deck I sawed it into strips
: between 3/4" to 1-1/2" wide.

: The bungee fittings are vacuum-formed carbon fiber rectangular cups
: with stainless steel pins. I make them in-house for our boats
: and for home builders.

Dan could you please explain/show photos of these fittings? I can't really tell from what I see here.

Thanks!
