Rough Cut Wood Sizes - OZ Goose 12ft build in Germany
G'day all,
I haven't posted for a while but I've been dropping in and been keeping up with what's happening. There're some really great builds going on. There's some very talented and skilled people out there. As the Germans say "respect".
Getting to the gist of things. I'm planning on getting the timber for my Goose build cut at the timber supplier and they stated that they want exact cut sizes. How much over-size from the finished size should I allow for the rough cut. I'm mainly concerned about the mast timber and the gunwales. The Oregon and WRC is damned exspensive and I can only buy it in 4x2 (100mmx50mm) up to 6m and as I said they want me to give exact cut sizes.
A couple of questions for Mik if you read this :U . Is there a specific place for the butt join on the side panels of the Goose. I can order the 3.1m sheets of Okume/Gaboon again. I'll use 6mm for the bottom panel and 5mm for the rest. I was also thinking of hiding the butt join on the bottom panel under the foredeck but that would mean it would be under the mast step. Is there a trap there?
Also on the Goose side panel supplement on the left hand bottom corner I'm guessing that should read all 457mm measurements from here and not that the first measurement is 305mm.
Thanks for any help.
Kev.
