    Default Swiss pear or light brown coloured Australian equivalent?

    Hi all,

    I am a model ship builder and am looking for a tight grained wood (with preferably little to no figure) in a light brown colour.

    Traditionally Swiss Pear works extremely well (photo attached) but no-one seems to supply this in Australia. The Australian Pear I have seen seems to have a greyer (rather than brown) colour.

    > Does anyone know of any suppliers of Swiss Pear in Australia?
    > Alternatively does anyone know whether there is an Australian equivalent that might work?

    Many thanks in advance.
