Anyone know of a local guy/company making good quality teak benches? Got the store bought one last summer and it lasted about 2 months before falling apart. Not sure if any DEBF guys do this?
I can't answer your question directly (about shops building teak benches in ME), but I built my own helm seat out of teak using supplies from Island Teak in BC, Canada. It turned out pretty nice. If you're a DIY guy, it's a lot cheaper than having a shop do it.
I can build you any bench you want guaranteed to stand the test of time. I'm not local but we can work that issue out. I'll build you the boat to put it in too if you need it!
