RE: [Cal_Boats] wood resource

Reggie, Whats your location? I will check in the latest Wooden Boat magazine for sources. Bert Pesak

By the way, I am in San Francisco and my shipwright still uses the company in Port Townsend. He likes Purple Heart because it is easier to get nice pieces compared to white oak. I don't know the details but I do know that my Purple Heart mast step came out very nice.

It's very dense and rot resistant. Our schooner uses it for sliding-hatch runners. The hatches are very heavy so it's good in that application--little wear in 22 years' use. Chris Campbell > >
