ugly, I'm in the process of refinishing my dash, and spoke to a local woodworker mate (who has won some pretty impressive awards) about the dash. He took one lokk and said that the walnut veneer is E

It shouldn't be that tough to re-veneer it the dash, provided your woodworker buddy can provide you with a crucial tool. What you need is a router with a 3/16 or 1/4" straight cutter bit with a guid

I got a repalcement dash for my GT6+ from Vicki Brit and I have to agree with your assessment. They are darker and uglier. My original dash was water damaged and even though I tried to sand it down

I have had a home made dash in my TR6 since 1989. Made from a Home Depot mahogany plank. After living in Miami and Mobile I would say it passed the heat test! No warps, cracks, or splits. MRB

I have received a maple dash for my '76 TR6. It is unfinished and I'd like to know what would be the best finish to apply. It's gorgeous and the work looks first rate, so I want to protect it well an

<What does the collective wisdom of the list recommend?> I would use a dark stain, wipe off quickly. (the longer it stays on, the darker it stains) Then seal it with polyurethane. Jeff Lee '63 TR4 CT

Why stain it at all? Just leave it natural. I would likely use marine grade varnish and put on at least three coats. Deano --Original Message-- From: owner-triumphs@Autox.Team.Net [mailto:owner-trium

Make sure you use a UV resistant overcoat. I didn't on my first dash and it's gone from black walnut to honey blond. Live and learn. Allen Brenden Lynnwood, WA USA '76 TR7 FHC (Daily Driver)sometimes

Most of the marine spar varnishes are UV resistant. Verathane also has a line of UV resistant finishes. Check the label for UV resistance. Allen Brenden Lynnwood, WA USA '76 TR7 FHC (Daily Driver)som

I did a dash a few years ago. I wanted a finish that was perfectly colorless, and completely waterproof and UV proof. In the urethane "varnishes" there is Spar Varnish which is quite water resistant

-- Jack, there are lots of options, of course, depending on whether you want a shiny finish, a satin finish, or whatever. I myself, for fine wood like maple, prefer Tung Oil. You'll have to reapply

Just to second Terry's solution, I too used tung oil and have always been pleased with the finish and the last time a rubbed in a coat was 4 years ago. I can also say that I have never gotten water o
