staining blonde insert on transom
Hi all
about to stain blonde area on a 21 ft capri. The area of concern is the transom. Is the white stripe portion carved into the transom or simply painted on? If it is recessed, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Capri Bullnoze
Looking for a piece of mahogany 9 1/2" x 5" x 18". Would prefer one solid piece rather than laminating. Hardwood suppliers in our area cannot get one. For my 1956 Capri restoration.
