DIY: CAPTAIN'S SEAT IS ALMOST DONE

We made a lot of progress on our Captain's Seat today.  The hinges were added and the doors were fitted.  Then of course they had to be removed again to add the stain and varnish.  Then we found that the trim we bought was too large so we are on the hunt for some finer trim.  The piece was cut for the seat top, that I will now take with me to the hangar this weekend and upholster it to match my Pilot House couch.  (Yes, I saved some of the fabric from when my daughter and I made the couch.)  We haven't made the backrest for the seat yet, but we will work on that after the boat is in the water.  We need to add the trim and another coat of varnish then we can re-hang the doors and it should be done for now.  I am pleased.
