Hi Peter, I could not see any teak in the pictures, but I would be interested in any teak and Brazilian and Khaya Mahogany you might have, for my work repairing and restoring classic wooden boats.

I might have someone who can help if you are still looking - drop me a message! Also, if you have any spare teak, I would be interested, as I repair and restore classic wooden boats for a living and am always looking for decent teak and mahogany for my work.

I repair and restore classic wooden boats for a living, so am always looking for reclaimed teak and mahogany for my work. I am interested should you ever wish to sell any of your teak! 🤞

Iroko - I wouldn’t use British WRC as it lacks the same durability as the colder, slower grown stuff from North America

Virgin Forest Burma Teak would be best, then probably Iroko? Where abouts are you? I have both in stock if it helps? If you do decide to go down the oak path, you really want air dried English oak or at least european air died oak. Kiln dried american oak simply won’t last

I feel your pain, I spend my life searching for Skarsten blades, scrapers etc They are few and far between sadly :( Anyone with any leads, please feel free to message me :) 🤞

Well, think it or not, it does and I have seen this first hand more than once!

I keep stock of these for my work restoring classic boats if you have any you are looking to part with? 🤞

Hi Robbo - I am interested, could you tell me where abouts in West Oxfordshire you are please? Feel free to PM me :)

Hi Ian, what are the capacities of the machine in terms of width/thickness? Where are you based? Thanks, Ed

Ash is about the least suitable wood you could use. I have seen where in boats it has been in contact with some of the worlds most durable hardwoods and it’s caused them to rot too. As others have said, the cheapest, highly durable option will be Iroko. Opepe and Balau are other possibilities...

It looks very much like meranti to me, which I doubt will be dense and strong enough for your purposes

I would be interested in finding a supplier for pomelle sapele in larger sizes than just a guitar neck for my work restoring classic wooden boats if anyone can help? Thanks Ed

In my experience the lighter, fluffier khaya mahogany can be a nightmare - some of the lighter, fluffy grained meranti can be troublesome too.

Hi Colin, have you tried all the tricks for undoing the screws? Sharp tap on the end of the screwdriver? Long screwdriver allowing weight and leverage? Tried tightening the screw then undoing to free them? If those all fail, a screwdriver bit in a brace allows a lot of leverage on the screw. If...
