dvm27 Posted March 28, 2015 #220 Posted March 28, 2015 Hornbeam (English) has a reputation for being one of the hardest woods, Alex, but it's a great color for decking. Did you find this to be the case?

Alex M Posted March 28, 2015 Author #221 Posted March 28, 2015 Thank you Johann for warm words! Yes Greg, it's really hard wood, nearly as boxwood. But it had very fine grain that match the scale. And good color You will need a lot of sandpaper... :D Alex Quote Current build: HMS Sphynx, 20 gun ship launched in 1775 at Portsmouth, Hampshire.
