The frames have been glued on for the bulwark. The railing is next.
Most of the railing consisted of two long pieces of DF. I didn't put in pieces between the frames for stability because the decking would be added to provide the stability.
Going around the corner required thin pieces of fir 1/8 inch thick.
This required two layers of 1/8" plywood to make up the tight corner.
The decking is straight grain, old growth DF planking that I got from an old house that was being renovated. These silly people were going to throw away 300 sq feet of beautiful flooring. Luckily I saved it. I used marine polysulfide caulking. It's a bit expensive, but very easy to work with.
Here is the continuation of the decking. The screws were removed and the holes were filled. Installing the decking was tricky and time consuming. However, now that it's completed, it very nice and worth the effort. (more pictures to come)
