Made from Ironbark and Native Cypress.
I cut the wood in the Boatshed, and then assembled it on site – which is not my usual Way. Indeed, I was astonished that it all came together without a (serious) hitch.
I think it should do the trick….

Lovely workmanship
Thankyou Heather. The cypress decking boards didn’t like being fastened in straight lines! They required some gentle persuasion.
Looks like it would support a Tesla reverse-landing rocket. .
I hadn’t thought of that. But I would certainly be disappointed if it succumbed to Hokusai’s Great Wave, or the Lady Bay equivalent….
Nice.
Is that a daub of black something-or-other on the bolt-heads fixing the frame joints, or are they something black and special?
Second question: how do your tool-edges go with that ironbark?
BTW don’t you blokes sleep? (See previous two comments)
Greetings Mike. In answer to your three questions: the black substance is old-fashioned pitch.
The tool-edges, including saw teeth, regularly go blunt, and need to be resharpened.
As for sleep: I can only speak for myself….I was certainly asleep, but evidently my Comment was wide awake (and it looks like your Comment was also a night-owl….) !
OK, the website clock is awry. I – and presumably you, something less than half an hour later – was operating in full, and blessedly unsaved, daylight.
