mugglezhong Posted April 2, 2013 #1 Posted April 2, 2013 Hello, I am going to start my Triton made! First,I have downloaded the "TritonKeelPlan@48-1" and find a printshop to printed with "actual size" and this is the detail of the drawing print another drawing and cut down some piece carefully this is all I have done, my confusion is the keel wood's choice "Beech" or "Pear wood" Beech is bright and easy to cut Pear wood is hard and tough but more dark and red If decided which wood is more beautiful. I will cut some piece to start the making. What‘s your suggestion? sorry about my English.... ,can you read it?
harvey1847 Posted April 2, 2013 #2 Posted April 2, 2013 You can always use both, Beech for the plankin and Pear for the frames. It looks like you have a lots of it. You will need it. I´m using Cherry so far for the frames and keel. Good, good luck! Daniel. aviaamator 1 In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48. Daniel On the computer: R.A. Principe de La Paz. POF. 1:48. Daniel
Pete38 Posted April 2, 2013 #3 Posted April 2, 2013 Welcome to the Triton build, I am with Daniel, use both Pear for the frames and Beech for the planking. Your build use what woods you want. Good luck Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER
AnobiumPunctatum Posted April 2, 2013 #4 Posted April 2, 2013 I would go with the pear wood. I personally don't like the darker points in beech Regards Christian Current build: HM Cutter Alert, 1777; HM Sloop Fly, 1776 - 1/36 On the drawing board: English Ship Sloops Fly, 1776, Comet, 1783 and Aetna, 1776; Naval Cutter Alert, 1777 Paused: HMS Triton, 1771 - 1/48 "Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

the learner Posted April 3, 2013 #5 Posted April 3, 2013 I am doing my build with maple frames but will use pear for beams and planking, what ever you choose will look great! Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line
sonicmcdude Posted April 4, 2013 #6 Posted April 4, 2013 First of all good luck on your build. You can use whatever you want after all you are the captain of this build. I like the pear better, and as Daniel and Pete said you can use the pear for the keel and stem and the beech for planking I think is the best choice. The beech is not that bad because the look of it is like "small" scale oak (the wood used on a real ships). Greetings, Sinan Build log:TRITON POB 1:72
