It has been some time since my last post and for good reason; I have been extremely busy, but more on that later.For those who have been following this blog I thought you may be interested in having a view of the pulpit. The story about the pulpit began and is dated October 19, 2013. Please feel free to review the information in the past blog.
The pulpit wood was separated from the support bars and sanded clean. The bars were partially pitted from salt water getting in between the wood and the bars -- the previous owner had sail the Gulf often. Sanding the bars was easy when using a proper tool: a grinder with a wire brush.
The Sampson post and windlass were placed back on the pulpit once it was secure. I did make a large .25 inch thick backing plate for the windlass instead of using the same aluminum washers that were originally used.
Having a bow pulpit that is refreshed adds to the overall look of any boat.
