I wish I could say money is not object, but alas tis...
I wanted to know, if you had your pick, free of charge, spare no expense... what kind of wood would you use for your transom?
I have two pieces I want to replace.
This piece here I believe is 1/2" thick.
And this piece here is 1" thick.
Not that I can actually afford it, but curious to see what you would use.
There is a woodworking shop near my house, and they sometimes have a "bargin bin" of sections of wood...so maybe I will come across something worth picking up.
They had a nice chunk of "Purple Heart" lumber...that looked amazing... I could imagine it with a few coats of some nice gloss, it would just make the entire boat.
