We were lucky to receive new Weems and Plath clock and barometer for the boat from our respective mothers.
We we want to relocate the brass oil lamp from the port bulkhead to the starboard and put the new units on the port side.
There is a dark circle on the port bulkhead where the lamp was and would like to get the panel the same color before moving forward. I know, from previous threads, the exposed wood has lightened from years of UV light.
Has anyone had good luck doing a color match repair in this situation?
Ironically I had pulled the wine rack out of the galley before Sati put up the nice blog on the same topic. We have decided to put in a vertical tambour door. Wood choice is red oak, maple, cherry or hickory from Omega. Will discuss with a home remodeler I race with to see what will best match the grain and stainability on that end.
Wood of finishing is something I’m just trying to figure out, especially with all of the beautiful bright work to maintain.
