Yes, the price of seasoned timber is outrageous (even if you can find it) and I can't recall the last time I saw a piece of straight stock in the hardware shop. Cheers.

Thank you Stevinne, much appreciated.

All of the necessary parts are now made for the case - base sides, feet and case corner edges. This is ripped from an oak table we used to have but I saved for the timber. A couple of coats of French Polish -

Indeed he did and has maintained an interest in the Mary Rose Trust ever since.

That reminded me of another source for wood. Many of the old rulers were made of true boxwood. (buxus). Can't beat boxwood for carvings and other similar items. Garage sales, ebay, and other sources sometimes turn up these old rulers.
