I need a few sheets of a good quality (BS1088 or 6566) 1/4" plywood with the
appearance of Honduras mahogany. I've inquired of the usual suspects and not found it. Suggestions? Jim |

Jim The only bs1088 I found with the outer appearance and color of mahogany was a brand called "Joubert". There were other inferior brands that were also made in Joubert France, but alas, my distributors will buy none of it from France (and for good reason in my opinion) so I am forced lately to use another brand from Morocco, which really sucks in my opinion and I have built over 50 S+T boats...

Jim,
If you are trying to match a particular type of wood exactly, you probably will not have a lot of luck. You may get close in 'style of grain', but probably not in color. It's hard to do that even if you buy your wood all at once. Batches vary. I don't know what you know or what you've found out yet, so forgive me if I'm beating a dead horse here. So, with that said, if you are looking for a mahogany-looking BS1088, then the choices I know of are Sapele (beautiful classic mahogany grain), Khaya (similar grain to Sapele, but a lot lighter and less contrast), Okoume (more plain grain), and Meranti (more reddish, plainer grain ...sometimes the grain is completely consistent.) Sometimes Okoume and Khaya are sold under the same name ...usually 'Okoume'. As far as Honduras mahogany goes, it can actually be one of several different woods but which look similar and have similar properties. I don't know of any source that'll guarantee that a particular type of wood *is absolutely* what they happen to call it, with the exception of Sapele that is. Sapele, Khaya, and Okoume are true mahoganies I believe. And I'm pretty sure that Meranti, Honduras, and Philippine 'mahoganies' are not. Same goes for Lauan, but they are all 'like mahogany' in many respects (differing in rot resistance, density, color, grain). Brian PS: If you can find your way to my web site (below), and then to the pictures of the boat I'm building and have built, then note that the McKenzie River drift boat is made of Sapele and the Tolman that's in construction has a hull built in Meranti. Haven't decided on which wood to use for the superstructure yet. -- My boat project: http://www.advantagecomposites.com/tongass "Backyard Renegade" wrote in message om...

We run 9 web sites but are growing fast.
See this one for a detailed description of Eurolite plywood: http://plywood.e-boat.net/index.php It is European poplar with marine glue (melamine). The spanish manufacturer rates it as marine but it is made for boat interiors. We are experimenting with it's use for small boat hulls. -- Jacques http://www.bateau.com "Brian D" wrote in message news:rROcb.579989$YN5.420885@sccrnsc01...

Thx, Brian -- My boat project: http://www.advantagecomposites.com/tongass I have some Wisa brand here that is only a few months old and the outer skin is forming a check or two, I am saving it to bring back to the distributor. I have never seen that with the Joubert brand ply. Wisa, and another calling itself Eurocume seem to have all five skins made of the lighter colored wood (6mm) but the Joubert has a darker skin, one that blends in with the mahogany trim I use. The other finishes lighter in color, the Joubert gets a nice rich mahogany tone when finished..

Casting no aspersions on Jacques, who has an interesting web site, I
suggest you try Boulter Plywood, www.boulterplywood.com, Somerville MA.

OK, I will accept that, and you may be right about the Sapelli, but either way, the Joubert is the only one I have found in the basic price range of Okoume that has that color, consistantly. Looking to see if I have a photo of the mark on the "eurocoume" I had last year... Scotty |
