Unexpected find

This is just an update on the speed liner restoration. I sanded the sects to find that the original varnish was hiding awesome cedar grain dark knot with deep red heartwood and light yellow sap wood. These colors only came to life as I was coating it with smiths penetrating epoxy.  I am very happy with this discovery and I can't wait to ad varnish and creat that fantastic depth of finish that really makes a boat pop
