The ballast bin is finished. The cupboard -- cut and partially assembled -- has started to rot. Good thing I hadn't finished it or anything.

Note: bamboo flooring is not suitable for making cupboards in a marine environment. Bamboo sticks don't make good curtain rods. I don't care what the marketing literature says, bamboo DOES grow mold. With considerable skill. It's strictly for outdoor, UV-saturated environments.
