Phase 1: Refinish Interior Doors and Bunk Drawers. This boat has nine built-in cabinets and lockers and two large under-bunk drawers. The cabinet doors are made of approximately 5/8" thick Philippine mahogany, framing center panels that are covered with a textured wallpaper of some kind. The drawer fronts are made of the same mahogany. Silverton applied a stain or varnish of some kind when the boat was built and over the last 29 years, the finish had darkened as shown on the door on the right in the photo.
All the doors and drawers were removed and taken home where they were sanded to bare wood. The center panels on each door were cleaned and prepared for painting. The hinges were also removed, sanded and sprayed with two coats of black paint.
The plastic latch assemblies were removed and four were found to need replacement. Surprisingly, they turned out to be a common RV part and are still manufactured today, so we were able to order four new ones.
