David,
140 degrees what? Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Reamur? How long?
Put a piece of wood in an oven (not in a microwave oven, in a real oven)
and see what happens.
Same with the enamel yacht paint. Without knowing what the yacht paint
is made of, it's probably easier to run a test than to take somebody's
word for it (at least that's what I would do).
I assume your Morgan does not contain plastic or leather upholstery. If
it did, I'd worry more about plastic than wood.
