I was curious what (if any) type of care people use for the wood in the
cabin. On my boat, the cabin wood was dry, faded, and chipping in places so
I used a combination of Howard Orange Oil, Howard Resto-a-Finish (Walnut),
and Howard Feed-N-Wax that I saw recommended online. You can see the before
and after photos below. The improvement to the table top was dramatic.
Looking back on this, I think it may been better to use a poly instead of
the wax for the last step. I think I may try a wipe on poly at the end of
next season for more permanent protection.
Some of the wood was delaminating underneath on the edges, so I cut some
thin oak to fit underneath on the edges and bolted that on. I also used an
epoxy mix to coat the edge where it was chipping on top. Not a fancy
solution but I think it will stop the damage. While I was at it, I
reinforced some of the parts that take a lot of weight by screwing on some
thin boards underneath. It seems a bit sturdier now.
Are there any recommendations from the group on how you treat the wood in
the cabin to keep it in good condition?
