Hey Steve (from San Diego)

Rehd (from Fresno) If you decide to take a look at the "Washcoat" and try it out on the redwood, let me know what you think of the look. Redwood does have a tendancy to darken a lot when a finish is applied, but, I think you will like it either way. It's just a good color. Hope to see a pic when you're done.. Good luck and enjoy your boat.
