  For the curve did you laminate teak strips to form?  Did you match the section of the existing trim?

I cut it out of one piece, and it did match the profile.

I added the eyebrow and went around the front of the cabin in "Little Harbor" style.  My eyebrow sits on the ledge that goes around the cabin top. To me it completes the look.

We also have the original. And I've almost taken it off multiple times. I knew it looked nice, but the teak is also the original, and every time it rains, it bleeds down rotted bits of wood. But then I realized that none of our portlights leak. None. And I'm guessing that it's due to the eyebrows in no small part. So then I've been thinking of replacing it with something synthetic to match our new color scheme (darker of the colors, whatever that winds up being). I'm thinking of some kind of rub rail type of material, or even a PVC mold if I could figure it out. But yeah, I like that piece, and I love the descriptor 'eyebrows'.
