Wood supply
« on: July 27, 2010, 05:03:27 PM »
HI All,

I am thinking of using individual planks on my MoL for the deck.  the plan says 4'' teak so in my estimation that's around 2mm in modern money.  therefore i need a supply of planks and i used to use Modeling Timbers but alas they no longer supply wood.

Has anyone used www.twigfolly.com and what would be a good substitute for Teak?

cheers
Ian

I've never used the company. but I see they do tulip wood, which looks very similar to a sun bleached teak when used for deck planking. That would be my choice....

Regards
Eddy
