Cockpit coaming rebuild

Here are the initial pictures for my coaming rebuild project. It was leaking at the junction between the forward coaming and the aft end of the house. The whole coaming side needed to be refinished anyway, so I took it all apart to rebuild all the wood and then refinish with some Interlux Schooner Varnish.

The workscape, complete with puttyknife puncturing the boat...

The bungs removed, fasteners out and old bedding being dug out. But you can see the deteriorated state of the old bedding... ick!

Wide shot of the progress:

The whole rest of the wood aft was stripped and the other coaming cap was removed too... now to rebuild it!
