I continued the varnish process by lightly sanding yesterday's sealer coat. Afterwards, I vacuumed, solvent-washed, and tacked off the teak, and applied a second coat of varnish, this time with less thinner than the first coat.
One of the small remaining tasks was to build a simple cover for the galley countertop, to replace the two-burner alcohol stove and its recessed pan. The owner decided to remove this stove, at least for now, and we elected to replace it with a simple wooden cover.
To match the interior cabinetry, I chose teak for the cover. From some stock thicker than I needed, I resawed several thinner boards from which to glue up the panel. Since the stock was still in its rough state, I ran the boards through the planer to bring them to 1/2" finished thickness. Finally, I glued up three boards to make a blank for the new top, and left the assembly to cure.
