The new oak and larch to start the rebuilding of the frames and ribs of Mai Star II

Having sourced a supplier for my green oak and larch it was a matter of having to pick it up from the timber yard the only problem was it was in another part of the UK, 200 miles away from my yard.

although there are knots in the first piece the patterns for the frames use the grain pattern to let the grain go in the direction of the curve of the frame


The other plank as a lot straighter grain and it is good for making ribs,which so far are about ten ribs down the port side. There are sure to be more as we go along.However this plank will make a good start in making new ribs

An use for a speed boat trailer, a good timber carrying trailer as well.
