Tim Curtis Posted February 2, 2018 #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
grsjax Posted February 2, 2018 #2 Posted February 2, 2018 Looks like nice wood. Here is a link to some information about its characteristics. http://www.wood-database.com/tasmanian-myrtle/ Tim Curtis and mtaylor 2 My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
donrobinson Posted February 2, 2018 #4 Posted February 2, 2018 Looks and sounds like a good wood, even used for boat building . I would certainly give it a try Tim Curtis and John Allen 2 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
