Ive been seriously thinking about redoing our tear and I thought just maybe I will redo the outer sidewalls with wood strips just like on a wood strip canoe...But then I would have to widen the outer edges... :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

Or maybe just doing an outer shell veneer job with 1mm or less most likely 0.8 mm ... using Mahogany veneer which isnt at all expensive here..and using epoxy glue or equivalent to press it on.. with Marine urethane to seal n shine the new wall shell.. Ive used this veneer quite a lot and it looks real classic. ;)

We have a Baltic Ply here that can be used also which is bendable and very nice for furniture and decor work...I could used both the veneer and mahogany and join the 2 together with a cut out design ... :designing:
