Hello Dave
Don¡¯t put any tension on the shrouds whilst the thwart is off.
The thwart is an integral part of structural rigidity,in some cases the hull can be warped with shroud tension.
Out of interest why are you going to add coats when the thwart is back on finish whilst on

Just an update,
I removed all the varnish, prepared the wood and have used Le Tonk as suggested by Martin.? After three coats, it looks great!? I am going to do another coat this evening and reinstall the thwart on Sunday morning.? Once it is back in the boat, I might put another couple of coats of varnish on if I think it will help.? <PXL_20210218_134744232.jpg>
