5 year old Gunwales!

Thought we show a little project we have done this winter.  About 5 years ago we build a prospecter in oz, since then it have been sat outside and has now work done to it. So its is time for some tlc.

varnishing is very gratifying, brings out the colour in the wood.

As you can see the Gunwales were a real mess, so they have been sanded down and varnished  have also stained the fixings, seats thwarts ect, looks quite good now, and remember this is 5 years old now and had been left out side and had now work done on it thus far. It has been painted on the outside as you can see, this was done as to protect is form the harsh uv sun they have in oz. 

So if you have built or thinking of building a canoe, try keeping it inside or at least out of the elements, and look after then Gunwales. 

Good to go for another 5 years!
