Gday all,
I was hoping for some advice (as Im pretty ignorant!). Slowly (!) building a Beteau FL 26.
Jigs up, stations are cut, but the current stumbling block is the transom.
The design calls for 9mm ply, bent around a frame easy enough until I started thinking :doh:
I was planning on 2 x 4mm marine ply bent and epoxied ( ~ a week later I am wondering if 2 x 4mm + 1 or 2mm veneer on top.)
A decorative Australian native, something that will come up nicely under a clear varnish coat
Is it feasible?
Is it a good idea?
Any suggestions on what could be a good/pretty choice of wood?
Many thanks it is the first time I have been brave enough to post here, although I have immensely enjoyed reading and learning from some of the older posts.
Cheers
Matt
