Interior finish questions

The wood in my photos is Brazilian Cherry. I like it a great deal. It is a
bit brittle, so when screwing into it, make sure your holes are large enough.
It was something like $5 bd/ft, s2s. It was easy to get in 5-8" widths.
It machines very nicely, although it is hard so your tools need to be
sharp.

I finally completed this project as well (I'm off this week). I too used Brazilian Cherry and it looks great! I will confess I had a carpenter cut and sand the enclosure piece. He was able to do it clean and quick and it fits great.

I will be adding a few brass weather instruments up there if they fit. I've seen other C-Dory's with this modification and I think it's classy. It really adds something to the look of the interior.

I posted a picture in my Napoleon Installations album.
