: I am finishing up a Spring Run over the holidays and I used Africa
: Mahogany for the coaming ring next to dark WRC on the riser and
: deck. Although the mahogany is slightly lighter, I like the way
: it looks next to the dark WRC. Not much contrast but the
: mahogany looks much "richer". I've attached a pic that

: Bob Beaullieu

That looks good.

Our water is 'pretty hard' right now, so I'm in no rush.
Maybe I'll get some of these other woods, and offer myself options.
Making my rim a bit wider may help, as well.
On the bright side, I am getting more adept at heating/bending the strips!
