New Louvered Cabin Doors for Sale - Maybe.

[77SceptreOB]

Update on the Cabin Doors:

I've picked up some local teak cabin door work. I've also bought ALL the Teak wood from my local supplier. The teak is genuine burmese teak. The picture at the begining of the thread is Burmese Teak. I bought my suppliers remaining 28 board feet at $ 11/bf, which is an awesome deal! My current project commitments will probably exhaust this teak supply.

The bad news: My supplier is getting out of the teak wood part of the business. That is why I bought all he had at a "close out" price. I can get teak from another somewhat local supplier, but at a much more expensive price. $21/bf for "Burmese" Teak. Ouch! Another option is African Teak (Iroko), it runs about $11/bf and has a lot of the same wood charactoristics as burmese teak.

So for the near future I will be busy with the projects that I have already committed to. After that, I'll see where things are with regard to Teak prices and my workload both at real work and at home.

For a comparison of "African" Teak vs. "Burmese" Teak, see the below link:

Huh?? What does that mean?

[floorboy]

I scraped and glued and sanded on mine for a full weekend to get them looking decent...... that said, I doubt the glue will stay together, never does.

If your not in a big hurry (2-3 weeks) I will take them. I need to get out of this monster house I am working in now though.


JUST WHEN i THOUGHT i WAS DONE SPENDING MONEY ON THIS BOAT FOR THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of pics showing how it's constructed. (Dove-tail Joints) just like the originals.

My door has cracked thru at the bottom of the dovetails on both sides at top and bottom. I glued the cracked pieces with epoxy, but also installed a couple of 3.5" SS screws at 4 locations from the sides and covered with teak plugs. Seems to be holding up ok so far.

What are the overall dimensions of the door?

What are the overall dimensions of the door?
Dave

36-1/2" Tall

23-1/4" Wide at the top (Can be up to 23-5/8" if fiberglass inner liner spreads, and that is pretty common)**

20-1/2" Wide at the bottom **

** Remember, the SST hinge to the boat accounts for about an additional 1/8" to 3/16" of the door rough opening.

Floorboy has claimed the Louvered Cabin Door that I recently made.

If anybody else is interested while I have time to make another, speak up now. Boating season in South Carolina is coming soon and I will be on the water and not in my shop.

The wood shop is now "open", orders welcome.
