Where's the teak?
Does anyone have a source of teak that is reasonably priced?
I plan to build replacements for the hatched on my E29 this winter. I will share the experience and pictures as the project progresses. The sliding hatch is in need of replacement.

A copule of years ago I refinished my hatches and hand rails.
I used a varnish stripper and a brass brush to remove the old varnish on my sliding hatch due to the depth of the grain a scraper would not work. It took about three or four applications to remove all of the buildup. The caulking between the strips of teak did not soften with the stripper I used (whatever brand that was sitting around the shop)
