imtamping2 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm up to the broads next week for some R & R and a bit of maintenance, where can I get a piece of Meranti to replace a damaged section 2 metres + and 100mm x 20mm bullnose (95x19 nom). Any thoughts appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 That was a lovely wood used in huge amounts at the Ferguson Shipyard at Troon. It was used for Cal Mac refits, and round many wall borders in homes also NO not mine! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 You will probably struggle to get it "off the shelf" at that size and with a bullnose profile. You would probably need to order it (or machine down yourself). If you are near Kent (I see you mentioned "up" to the broads). Morgans timber in Strood (Nr Rochester) (http://www.morgantimber.co.uk/) are very very good and may have off the shelf (They have a massive off cut area and you can get less than 2 meter pieces of Meranti, sapele and French oak for about a £5 a length (Longer a bit dearer). Robins in Bristol will also post to you but at a serious cost (http://www.robbins.co.uk/). I have heard of a company similar to Morgans in Norfolk but can't remember the name..

imtamping2 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks for the ideas so far. I should have said I am base in South Wales and swmbo will not be to happy balancing a piece of timber on her shoulder for 300 miles so the closer to Norfolk the better. Will give Burtons a ring later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
