[QUOTE="richg99, post: 410751, member: 4376"] I'm with Johnny on exterior plywood over regular boards. Both my local Home Depot and Lowes stores will cut a piece of plywood for you. The first cut is free and each subsequent one is 50 cents or so. Round the edges and paint. Having owned a couple of sailboats with "brightwork" ( varnished wood trim) I'd say forget the stain and varnish and go for some PAINT. UV rays will kill any finish. It will just take a bit longer on a painted finish. Some guys like stripping and re-varnishing their boat. I didn't. I was working at the time and wanted to spend my time fishing, or sailing, and not varnishing. richg99 [/QUOTE]
