| Framing Mahdee's original transom was framed with oak. We did not have access to large and thick enough white oak to replace the framing, so instead of gluing up oak, we used purpleheart for the transom framing. The quarterlogs were mostly rotted away. We used African Mahogany (Khaya) for the two quarterlogs The transom frame was built up by John in March and April. more | The transom looked like it had been repaired at least once before.
