Wood in Marine - ITI Timspec
Unlike their aluminium counterparts, boats built from Tuff-plate� will not corrode. An excellent boat-building material, Tuff-plate� floats, resists harsh chemicals and marine growth, and has a carbon footprint approximately five times smaller than aluminium plate. The body of the Tuff is filled with hundreds of so-called red cells�small, air-filled pockets that not only make the material shock and sound absorbant but also give it added buoyancy making the vessel robust, quiet and unsinkable, thus ensuring an extremely smooth, soft, and safe experience that aluminium built boats won�t give.

Boat building timbers in New Zealand I will soon be starting the build of a ply lapstrake 12' sail and oars dinghy, a Vivier Morbic For the last boat I built I used mainly Fijian Kauri for the non-ply components.

This worked well but was quite pricey. I would be interested to hear forum members' comments about what other woods they have found to be useful, with reasonable pricing and availability. I haven't been able to find much information of use on NZ-based web forums, so I am hoping there might be some NZ members lurking here who can point me in the right direction.

Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Yeah, since we clear felled the forests there's a lack of good boat timber in NZ. I presume you'll want something light Vivier?

You might get lucky and find some western red cedar, there are a few mobs who import it for sarking and external cladding. If you're lucky you might be able to select a few x25 planks with fine grain.

Finally, there's also occasionally a dodgy looking dude on Trademe who brings in container loads of Siberian larch. In terms of NZ grown wood Up North there are quite a lot of American redwoods growing. For the amounts you need for a 12 foot dinghy, you might consider looking up some of the millers in the Manawatu.

I seem to remember there's a fulla up there who has a reasonably stead supply of heart Totara, which would be quite nice if you can select a few pieces.

It's durable, but splits if you're not careful. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Thanks for the information. I'm not particularly fussed about the weight of the wood, within reason. On a boat of this size the difference between a light and medium weight wood is probably only about 5kg. The Morbic 12 hull apparently weighs about 80kg bare, with typically used woods.

I will check out Lumberbank. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Considering the fact that only a small quantity is needed, cost might not be so large an issue either? We have heart Totora available from a small yard or two as well and even NZ kauri if you are lucky. Selecting and transporting looks to be more of an issue for you in cas e of the local types. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Macrocarpa is widely available and pleasant to work, the only problem with it is that you cannot steam it.

Looks similar to kauri under varnish. NZ grown saligna is also readily available in the Ak area, has a mahogany like appearance under varnish. Both cheaper than imports. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Hi and thanks for your helpful reply. BBS looks like a really good option. I am regularly in Auckland and I see they have a branch there. My previous supplier of Fijian Kauri just told me that Fiji has now banned the export of that product. I'm not particularly sensitive about price, but I do want to know that I can get more of a particular wood once I start using it.

Looks like BBS are the people to talk to. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand I have heard people say that Macrocarpa is a good boat building wood, but I haven't seen it advertised anywhere down here. Do you know who offers it around Auckland? I paint finish my boats - for the sake of easy care - not quite as pretty, but more practical. Join Date Sep Location new zealand Posts 5, I used it for stringers and other bits on a Pathfinder build.

They are Auckland based too. It glues and holds screws really well, and is sustainable, if that's important to you. Edited - there was someone up north doing paulonia too, locally grown.

They have a detailed website www. They generally have quite large stock and I have found them very helpful. If you are in the area and wish to visit them they can be rather difficult to find if you are unfamiliar with the area, Boat Building Wood Suppliers Uk 36 GPS recommended. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Thanks for all the excellent information everyone - I now have plenty of leads to follow up on.

I got cedar and Teak from them to finish my dinghy that is strip cedar. The is also ITM in Seaview that has an exotic timber shed out the back. They are cheaper if they have what you want.

Saligna is well priced but "very" heavy, the Tassie oak is as heavy and you will need sharp hand tools to work it.

The Fijian Kauri would be my pick for your build, and the price while more than the other 2 is still not as bad as teak. I would avoid NZ grown cedar by the way, it very fast growing and probably why all the cedar cladding put up on houses in the 80's is mush already. I will check them out.

Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand There's also the occasional packet of treated Kahikatea available from mills on the west coast of the south island.

The Lawsons was from hedgerows milled near Ohakune - had a few knots in it, but they have proven to be solid - boat was launched in NZ grown Lawsons is hard to get, and well sought after.

I was told by a few boat builders that there was a lot of macrocapa in kauri boats - especially 2 skin and 3 skin hulls - where the owner never saw it. I purchased this timber from the company that used to own the sawmill now known as MacDirect.

Your Vivier will be ply lapstrake and macrocapa should do the solid timber bits without any problem. Re: Boat building timbers in New Zealand Thanks for that, macrocarpa certainly sounds worth pursuing. Funny story about Kauri substitution! Boat Related The Bilge.
