¡Its green!

Now the paint is curing. In a week or so I´ll turn it around and do some finishing work on the inside. besides that, I´ll make it some oars. More about that in the future.

painting inside

I´ve painted the interior. Primer, and 4 layers of a good semigloss outdoor paint. Hopefully she´l be turned over and painted on the outside within a couple of days

Finishing seats and varnish

I´ve painted the inside of the seats, glued them and varnished the brightwork 4 times. When its thorougly dry, I will start painting the inside of the pram

Front seat

rear seat

rubbing strake and bilge runners

I have blued the keel/rubbing strake and the bilge runners. They are out of an African hardwood a sort of teak substitution. I cant remember the name. Its strong and only needs to be oiled. I have also filled and sealed the strakes with my ugly black epoxy/powder mix. The bottom needs to be sanded but besides that, its ready to be painted. I really felt like priming it so that I could see it without all the ugly black stuff but I prefer finishing the inside now and so finish the epoxying while the weather is relatively warm.
So now the pram is turned around again. It weighs 13 kg now (29 lbs ) Thats very good.
