Hey all -
I have recently acquired an old DS I (approximately '59 vintage) and all the encompassing repair fun. My new treasure was deprived of a centerboard and I am now beginning the creation process. I have done a fair amount of research thus far, but have failed in finding definitive information regarding the type of wood to use for the centerboard core.
Right now I am leaning towards Redwood because I can get it rather easily and cheap.
I have also though of using a Cedar but I am not sure as to which type of Cedar would be best.
Spruce crossed my mind as another possible solution but I have only been able find construction grade thus far.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks.
