Begin Refinishing Tiller
05 February 2006 | Leesburg, VA
Today I sanded my tiller. As you can tell from the "before" photos, the previous finish was all worn and the wood was showing its age.
I used an electric sander to make things faster. I first used some rough 80 grit sandpaper to remove the old rough finish, then 120 to smooth out some, and finished off with some 220. It now looks almost new compared to the way it looked before.
Now I will put on four coats of Wood-Pro and it will be ready for installation. I can't wait to have all the wood refinished. It's going to look great!

| Extra: | This site is all about my experiences with my first boat; from restoring it, to my sailing adventures. I enjoy hearing from my readers, so feel free to send me an email. I'm also interested in meeting new people in the area, especially people in my age range since I hardly know any that sail. |
