Teak cap rail

[weheritage]

Renovating a 1942 John Hanna ketch who's bow sprit was taken off during a hurricane. When this happened it took about 3 feet of bulwork off the starboard side and loosened the port side as well. When I finally get the bulwork finished she'll need new teak cap rails on both sides. Where can I find them? http://www.gulftel.com/boomer/Leeway005.jpg

Where can I find them? Someone's gonna nail you for sure if you keep setting yourself up like that. :D

You're going to have to make them yourself or pay someone (handsomely) to do it for you. I'd suggest doing the bulwarks, cap rails, bowsprit and anything else teak all at the same time.

In the meantime, seal things up to minimize further damage from the weather.

LOVE that bronze.

Look under "C" in the yellow pages.

Couldn't resist.

ROTFLMAO!

Actually, you may not need new caps all around. They look okay except for the damaged areas. Just scarf in the new. Some oxalic acid should have the rest looking like new in a jiffy.

What Bob said. Cut back the starboard cap a couple of feet so the scarf will be in the same place on both sides. It'll look less like a repair and more like original construction.

Thanks to all who responded, looked in the phone book under "C" no help. How about sources for mahogany?

W.E.H.

Same source as the teak. :D

Ok, kidding aside, now you DO go to the phonebook and look up, "Lumber". Call the place with the biggest ad and tell them what you're looking for whether it be teak or mahogany or whatever. If they don't have it, ask who does and then call them.

This website:

http://www.wdfinder.com

is a good resource for finding places to buy wood.

Hopefully some of the folks down in your area will chime in with their local knowledge of lumber suppliers. I have not had much luck with the phone book approach when it comes to hardwoods.

You'll do better looking under Hardwood in the phone book rather than Lumber.

In my area, the suppliers i use are listed in the yellow pages under "Hardwoods".
Someone will suggest methods to search the WBF.
Check the ads in WB mag.
Sorry for the smartass "C" suggestion.

But unless you are lucky enough to have a hardwoods dealer right close by, don't be surprised if there is nothing in your phone book under hardwoods...that has frequently been my experience. Even here in Providence, RI, the second largest city in New England, the nearest decent hardwood dealer is halfway to Boston.

Thanks again to all. No harm no foul with the "C" suggestion. There's plenty of Cyprus to go around her in LA (lower alabama) and large quantities of hard. Wholesellers It's difficult to find just enough to do the project.

W.E.H. :cool:
