[Rhodes22-list] Floor Boards

Sun Jan 8 13:54:30 EST 2012

Some years ago I took up the rug and laid down a teak and holly veneer, which came in 4 x 8 panels.  I don't recall the name of the company,but it was loacted in FL.  It was something like "Teak Concepts".  I laid it down (after making a tracing and cutting accordingly) in two pieces, split lengthwise down the middle.

It would only make sense if you enjoyed pain and endless hours of  
aintenance. Marine plywood and carpet is low maintenance and much cheaper than  
teak. How about that. It's past noon. Time for a libation and football.

hris,
ny thoughts on doing this project using teak as the  flooring instead of 
lywood & carpet?  I was thinking about something  like that because it would 
eally look a lot better.  Would that make any  sense?

 Lee: Marble might be a bit on the heavy side.  I am on my boat, nice 60ish
 degree weather, too bad it's not in the  water. I took apart the floor
 boards and sketched up the existing  pattern to cut new 3/4" boards from
 marrine plywood that I will coat  with several thin layers of poly. I 
ave a
 couple of questions. Why  did Stan use 7 boards (see enclosed sketch A, B,
 C, D, E, F, G). I  think it's probably because the hardboard comes in 
'x5'
 sheets. The  marine plywood will be a 4'x8' sheet and I think it would be
 better to  install five boards (see enclosed sketch A, B, C, D, E) but I 
ant
 to  make sure I am not missing anything. Another minor issue is that the
  1/2" hardboards are actually 3/8" and will be replaced with 3/4" wood
  pushing the wood centerboard enclosure up slightly. I can either live  
ith
 a slight slope or cut down the wood centerboard enclosure 1/4".  Any
 thoughts or input on the board pattern would be  appreciated.
