We want a single surface to lay down the teak planks - seemed easier to chip out the glass ribs and old teak, then sand it smooth. Def. took some work with an old chisel, grinder, and sander.
We backfilled with epoxy bog, then a layer of roving. Hardest part was routering the edge along the perimeter straight and smooth.
Dry run on laying out the teak planking. We were able to find some used wood on CL, probably less than $2 a board foot. Did have to resaw it, which is something I had never done.
Helping the epoxy kick off in the cold, cold California winters (it was 64F...)
Routering the hole and relief for the compass.
My plan is to use a 5" deck fitting and mount the compass on top - thus having it removable. This way we can use the console top as a work surface if necessary. Once all the teak is laid down, it has to be caulked, then the entire top sanded.
