Hi Anja thanks for your reply & good information, however I made my choice its Mahogany i went online to Cornwall model boats, I sent for it at 11.30 A.M & received the Strips the following morning, I am happy with the colour Mahogany it is a nice red & similar to the Sapele bits of left overs that I have, the strips do cut nicely, I have brushed on a few coats of clear varnish & the colour is going a darker red/ brown, I now know why people think Mahogany is a dark wood including myself, its because they only see it when it is finished on furniture & boat rails ect & not in its natural state By for now Anja milo

Hi I have worked with Sapele planking strips On H.M.S. bounty & I like the colour but find it hard to find stores that stock it in the U.K, my second choice is Mahogany because it looks similar in pictures but I have not physically looked at it, so can someone let me know if they are roughly the same colour. also is there any problems with cutting a taper with Mahogany Thanks

Ross, Adrieke, Helmsman, Thanks for your reply, I did think it would be hard to push the pins into ply frames, it would be better to line the tool up & then tap the end to knock the pin in, but I don't suppose its made for that, Thanks milo
