Hi,
Send me the picture and I'll upload it for you...
email don@rania.co.uk

Early BPB craft specified and used African mahogany I believe. I may well be corrected on this but the 63' Whalebacks certainly did as did some Seaplane tenders.

Cheers
Don

Hello. . .this is a better pic now she has come home.  I really need to know what kind of timber was specified in the construction.  It is a light weight and a reddish colour. . could it be Meranti, or Niangan ?

Sorry but i can't seem to upload the picture.  Too large. . . I will when I can. . however I really need to know what type of timber was specified for their construction. It is of light weight and redd in colour. .would it be Meranti or Niangan possibly ?
