rafterrat_2005 Posted January 25, 2014 #1 Posted January 25, 2014 I have am looking to see a Timber List for the Full build? I'm pretty sure someone knows what wood that is needed for this. Can some one help me please
BubbleHead Posted January 30, 2014 #2 Posted January 30, 2014 I don't know if there ever was one, but look in scratch build forum HMS Vulture by Dan Vadas the ship is about the same. See what he did for a timber kit. TJ
kellrandy Posted January 30, 2014 #3 Posted January 30, 2014 I haven't heard of one, actually. If you want to real authentic I've read that the British used elm and oak a lot. I have no idea if those woods would be a good fit for model building because of the coarseness of their grain structure. I know a lot of folks use fruit woods like cherry, apple, and pear. I just went with what I like. For my build, here's what I'm using... Mahogany (main structure ie keel, framing, beams, rooms, etc.) Walnut (anything I want to stand out, so far the false keel, and probably will use it for doors, cannon trucks, rigging blocks, and other deck furniture stuff) Ebony (whales and window frames) Maple (deck planking) Haven't figured out the rest Good luck...
