Hi,
I'm building my first rc boat from scratch:

I'm thinking about planking main deck with 1/8"x3/8" walnut, cherry or mahogany strips.
I'm having a hard time locating good supplier here in US.
Could anyone recommend one please?
Thnx
Max

Hi Max, Not sure if this site will help but I ordered strips for my BB here.

Interesting model you have coming together.

You should be able to get mahogany, walnut and cherry strips from Midwest products.

Check for a local distributor, or look for an online dealer.

I’ve been very happy with the lumber that Northeastern Scale Lumber (http://www.northeasternscalelumber.com/) supplies.
