Jolley Roger Posted May 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2015 I have ordered some Maple strips for planking from Cornwall Model Boats and noticed that they are selling a variety of woods that i'm not familiar with: Obechi Annegre Bokapi Dibetou Manzonia Mukaly Red Paduc Tanganyka Anybody know the characteristics of these and their application in model ships? Quote Samuel Pepys notes in his diary on 19 July 1667: "the Dutch fleets being in so many places, that Sir W. Batten at table cried, By God,says he, I think the Devil shits Dutchmen."

demonborger Posted May 14, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2015 Obechi - similar to mukaly Annegre - same as tanganyka pretty much, same application, Billings use this for decking Bokapi - not sure Dibetou - a walnut Manzonia - similar to walnut Mukaly - yellowish wood, used for deck planking (constructo kits use this) Red Paduc - not sure but reminds me of sapele Tanganyka - very very common wood for deck planking, light brownish. Italian companies wood of choice for decking. Mostly these are African woods that are similar colours and properties. Check out Constructo and Billings kits as these woods are supplied with those kits. Most italian manufacturers and Caldercraft use tanganyka for deck planking Jolley Roger, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Kits owned: Mamoli Royal Louis, Mamoli Friesland, Mamoli HMS Victory 1:90, Occre Santisima Trinidad, Constructo HMS Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
