More About Kaci

Spidsgatter Pax > Bulkhead and Port bunk finish work (6)

The marine ply bunk, shelf and temporary bunks worked well during sea trials and with friends aboard this past 6 months, so I worked with Diana Talley to use photos from the fire (original interior), my trip to Denmark and our own combination of function and beauty, for her finish work on the facing and curves and new port bunk. Wana, is the wood used on the facing and new bunk. The ceilings are the original Fir used by Derk Wolmuth. I planed them and revarnished them before Diana reinstalled at new lengths.
