Okay, this has nothing to do with the boat...

but I finally finished the kitchen, officially, with the installation of a stained glass transom light. The weather side is protect by a double-paneed low-e glass pane caulked into place.

Salon Bridge Station

For another fun winter project, I pulled the bridge station out of the salon and hauled it up to the workshop. It stands about the height of a lecturn.



It was in fairly rough shape, with a fair amount of water staining. I stripped the surviving varnish, bleached it several times, then pulled the screws from each section to remove it from the black interior frame. I painted the frame, then stained and varnished the mahogany pieces. The finished result turned out nicely.



I've given it a place of honor in the workshop. The instruments and panels are next.
