Stay the course,... I work with fiberglass everyday.
It really isn't that hard to work with,.... Get it as Smooth as possible,.. it will eliminate a lot of grinding. use about 3 layers of 10 oz. woven roving over your New wood and 3-4 layers of 1.5 oz. fiberglass "chopped strand mat" over that and 1 layer of surface vale as your last layer, followed up with a couple coats of resin and 2 coats of "colored" gel coat. that should do it, and make it last for 100yrs. (unless you drill holes into it.)
If you were in the Cities I would help you out,.... but I can't see driving to cheese land for fiberglass work.
You have most of the harder work done.... Keep Going and post pics of your progress.
