I have 2 panels with a goog amount of curve. When I put them up, I started
on the end with the least amount of bend putting screws every 8 inches. (reason
for brass screws). I did use 3ply veneer. I didn't pay attention to grain as I
was trying for maximum useage of each sheet of wood.

Stus-List 1980 C&C36 Headliner Panels
The panels over the galley and nav station on this boat would have a curve to
them. Were any of the panels on your 38 curved much? If so, how did you work
that out with 1/4" plywood? I was thinking that 1/8" would work ok, but that
1/4" might have to be steamed, or slotted on the back, or something like that.

Dennis, I used some sort of plastic sheet (4’ x 8’ x ~1/8") the was similar,
white with a grain/rough surface on one side and completely smooth on the

SS oval screws with SS decorative washers to hold them up. Semi-industrial
look. It looks better because I spray-painted the interior white so the
matching is pretty close.> Best,> Dave Godwin> 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin> Reedville -
