Deetails restoration and refinishing

09/19/2025

Here's the latest project.
The last thing I expected (or wanted) to do was to PAINT over the patina'd, mahogany bow on this old classic runabout. My vision was to convert it into shelves as a bar-back for a restaurant, a table, or kids bed, maybe even a light fixture.
But when a client reached out with the need for cool focal point in their greek restaurant renovation, the idea of Greek fishing boat emerged and DEETAILS was all over it.
It turned out awesome!
Shout out to Kefi Greek restaurant in Palos Heights Illinois for entrusting me with this exciting project and to make their vision a reality. Swing by for some great atmosphere and excellent food!

Update # 1 : 1971 Boston Whaler Outrage .
With its classic lines and solid teak center console, I saw a true diamond in the rough here.
I started with the woodwork - stripping it out of the boat, breaking it down, rebuilding broken and compromised parts, re- enforcing and refinishing with the goal to bring as much of the original wood as possible back to life . Nothing beats the look of classic oiled teak!
Once the woodwork is complete its on to refinishing and resurfacing the hull. Please send your likes. questons and commments
