Fabricating a Teak Shower Mat

Shower sump area in the head

Below is a photo showing the sump pan for the shower in the head on the Johanna Rose.  Some C&C Landfall 38 are configured with a separate shower stall just forward of the head.  On the Johanna Rose, the shower and head are combined, and the extra space which was utilized as a separate shower on some other units is used for additional settee length and locker space which currently houses the 16,500 BTU/hr Flagship Marine Air Conditioning system.

Recycling  chair parts and fabricating a simple floor mat 

Rhodesian Teak chair
We had a friend who gave us some teak for sailboat projects.  What he gave was the teak from outdoor chairs (everything except for the metal hardware).  Here is an image of what a completed chairs would look like.   A few years back, I cannibalized the seats to make a cockpit table for my C&C 29.

I took measurements with the intention of making a new teak grate, but when I realized the chair backs provided nice cross strips, I decided to utilized these remains to fabricate the shower mat.  The back slats were easily removed from the chair back and trimmed to 16-1/2".   I ripped three of the slat in half lengthwise and used these ripped slates as cross members for joining the remaining parts with stainless steel screws.
