I finally got around to getting the fiberglass off our Rushton. I have some work ahead of me to say the least. This is my first restoration. The stem tips will need to be repaired ( along with all new rails and decks, rib and plank replacement). I have not pulled the planking loose to see how far down I need to go yet. One tip is broke, and the other is rough. I am curious, would using a sawn piece to replace a tip be acceptable? If so, is there an unwritten rule of how far that could go vs bending a new piece? Also, I believe the stems should be Elm? Any concerns in steaming fastening it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
