Re: Moanhogany - Just don't build the chair out of it too.
Thanks for the suggestion. THis is a job for PL Premium, I think, so I
will probably just wipe with water a bit ahead of time.

Its OK ! before installing dip - not soak- it in water and let it dry.
This will raise the grain and give epoxy more "tooth"

I've used Ash with good success. It's hard enough to stand up to abuse,
shock resistant enough to make baseball bats. Thin you epoxy a bit when
gluing as it doesn't absorb epoxy well but I've not had any problems with
not sticking. Plus, price wise, it's better than other hardwoods.

I have been bedevilled with bad mahogany. You can't tell whatthe
grain looks like always, since there isn't any early and late wood.

alternative woods, but have to go to a speacialty shop. Moanhogany

It all seems very clear now! I hope your problem can be cured easily.
At moments like that an old friend who had built thousands of boats
in his life and is now departed used to say, "If that is the worst
thing that happens in one hundred years to you you'll be very lucky".
Not very comforting in your situation now but a good thing to think
of to put things in prospective. I hope the rest of your project and
problems become insignificant to the enjoyment you receive from your
boat.

Really seems like you don't get it. Chapelle prescribed a designated
chair for sitting and moaning in in the shop when you make a big
mistake when building a boat. Haven't read the original passage yet
but I understand the necessity.
Your rowing seat sounds like a good idea, tho. S.O. is getting sick of
the padded plastic bucket that we use, and I think I'm getting close.

Maybe I'm not getting a correct impression of what you want but out
here in the northwest we use a rowing seat that has rope for a
cushion. Before you poo-poo the idea I can assure you it is the most
comfortable rowing seat I have ever been on.

20SEAT.JPG
The rope is threaded back and forth across the top of the seat dowels
and around the bottom dowels so it can be retied for your preference
in firmness. As you see this seat can be made very inexpensively and
I haven't seen anything like it on the forum yet. I think it is a
shame since this type of seat can make many row boats all day rowing
boats like our drift boats are.

I need Chapelle's moaning chair!
The mahogany strips I'd added to the soft bottom stringers on my
dinghy project were cleaning up nicely with a plane when I started to
notice that I had 20 or 30 degrees of grain runout in places! I guess
tomorrow I'm going to have to plane them off and replace with
something else. Had gone to a lot of trouble running around looking
for some hard wood when a guy from a wood shop cut me some from his
scrap. Oh well. Ash will be better if I fork over $18 for a piece, but
my profits are awfully slim as it is. Mostly feels like a loss
already.
