Steve S Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I want to make some teak dinghy tube rests to fit on the roof of Tigerfish so I can put the dinghy up there inflated and strap it down during voyages, eg to Alderney. I've no idea where to buy some lumps of teak to make them from, any suggestions guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to save up if your after some big bits as it’s not cheap 👍 Jim and Steve S 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Thomas Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Try Christchurch Timber, they may have something similar. Iroko is more affordable and used in marine boat framing. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
