Hello everyone,
I’m new to the org and to the forum – and I don’t currently own a GP. I did many years ago (no.4561) and my plan is to be an owner of one again as I plan to build a mark 1 here in New Zealand for cruising with a family.
M’y question for thé forum is around timber types and availability. The plans ask for Obechi for the beams, knees, king planks and carlins. It is not readily available here – but I could get my hands on Douglas Fur. Can anyone tell me if this is similar to Obechi in weight and softness? Or suggest another timber type? I already have the mahogany and the ply shouldn’t be a problem.
thanks
jon
