My buddy stopped by the house last week to see how the project was going and saw the block of wood that secures the latch to the Donzi hatch lock knob on my work bench and asked me how much wood is on this boat? I told him that’s it and he said that’s good because it looks like s***. I told him my plan was sand/paint it white and put it back in. He didn’t like that plan and took it with him and this is what he gave me back last night. Since he's a wood worker/cabinet maker I figured he was up to something and as it turned out he had some mahogany back at his shop. Turned out nice and will never need to be replaced again.
