The original plan was to refinish all the teak on the new boat, however some just does not lend itself to refinishing. In particular there is a thin piece of trim on both sides of the coach house. I have been looking at alternatives to teak because I can't find anything close to the size and shape (3/16" x 3/4" x 10' 4"). There is a style of trim called "screen bead" that is pretty close in size, but I can only find it in pine which will not pass muster. I have found red oak stop trim in the 1/4" x 1" x 10'. I need that extra 4", so will need to join two pieces for each side.

There is a hardwood mill south of us that may be able to help, they have a style of trim called "cloverleaf" which is 3/8" x 3/4" x 12' and available in oak. I'm headed there on Saturday to take a look at samples.
