I'm looking for a supplier of Obeche planks in the standard sizes 1/8" x 3" x 36" . I need it to plank a battleship hull so as long as its 1/8" thick the sidth is not too critical as I will have to cut it into 1/2" strips anyway. I'm going to need about 12 planks min!
 
Have done a couple of web searches but so far without too much success.
 
Does any one know of a good source?
 
Thanks

Go to your local timber yard and ask for some off cuts.

SLEC do obechi strip on their online shop. I recently ordered a custom run of lime planks for a deck- these were excellent.

I've bought obeche from this gent myself before for my lifeboats, and his service is second to none.....extremely quick and the timber is superb.

Just an update, the nwood arrived promptly and appears to mbe of very good quality. Exactly what I ordered. I certainly intend to use this source again.
