Someone painted theirs a light blue years ago. 🙄

I have never seen a a synthetic wood I likes but hove not looked in a few years.

While in Horta we had a German carpenter undertake some repairs on our toerail - including the replacement of about eight feet of damaged material (another boat dragged into us in Mile Hammock Bay)

He used Iroku which I have to say is almost identical in appearance to the original teak: a little darker.  It was readily available at the time and not badly priced.  The carpenter did an amazing job stripping out the damaged wood, feathering in the new wood and machining the repair in place to match perfectly.

Even knowing it is there we have to actively seek out the replaced length of teak.

Kale

He glued it but with what adhesive I do not know.  The original toerail had to be chipped out and I think I recall that it was glued/epoxied in place as well as screwed.  I do not trust my memory on this however.  We were off seeing Horta and drinking with friends and all sorts of activities unrelated to the toerail repair.  

It is dark here on Man O War Cay but tomorrow I will take a picture of the section and forward it.  We use Cetol on the toerail which likely helps blend in the two woods: two coats of teak light topped with clear.

Here are three unretouched photos taken in partial sun - the only kind we are going to get this morning.

One from three feet and two up close on the union of old and new.
