Tim Curtis Posted February 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2018 Friends, Any thoughts about using Tasmanian Myrtle (Nothofagus Cunninghamii), partic for deck and hull planking? It is quite cheaply available on ebay in 0.6mm veneer sheets, sent direct from Tasmania. http://stores.ebay.com.au/TopVeneer?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 It seems to be a dense, fine-grained wood, with quite pale pink colour. Anyone have any wisdom or experience on this matter? Tim John Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to some information about its characteristics. http://www.wood-database.com/tasmanian-myrtle/ Tim Curtis and mtaylor 2 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

donrobinson Posted February 2, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 2, 2018 Looks and sounds like a good wood, even used for boat building . I would certainly give it a try John Allen and Tim Curtis 2 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
