My P365 has a relatively long bow protuberance made of teak to stow
the anchor on. Even Pearson agrees this is not to be used to anchor off
of or to break an anchor loose. In other words, it is useless.
I'm going to replace it with something shorter and stronger that is
actually useful.
I'm thinking of laminating something like 1x2 boards and fabricating
from that.
So what kind of wood will give the strength and good looks required?
Thanks
Gordon

This could be done in mahogany which would give relatively good strength and appearance. Strength will be dependent on the shape and the manner in which you fasten it down. Fastening it to the deck may be a problem depending on the deck structure. Ultimate strength of wood will be in good white oak and can then be stained in almost any color.
