Squirt Bill of Materials
DO NOT PURCHASE ANY MATERIAL UNTIL YOU READ THIS
SECTION.
LUMBER: All lumber noted allows length for fitting. All widths are
actual size. All thicknesses are standard finished sizes, with 1" lumber
being four quarters material, usually finished about 3/4". Where the
lumber types listed are not available, suitable marine lumber can be
substituted, including select Douglas-fir or long-leaf yellow pine, with dense
straight grain. Other materials can be used if they have been used with
successful results in your locality. Oak refers to white oak (red oak being
more subject to rot). Mahogany refers to African, Honduras, or Phillipine-dark
red varieties. Spruce refers to Sitka spruce and is used when minimum weight is
desired. Plywood must be either marine or exterior grades, interior grade is
not acceptable.
CHECK ALL SIZES TO THE WORK PRIOR TO CUTTING.
Abbreviations used are: Mahog = mahogany; SP = spruce: DF = Douglas-fir, PW =
plywood, MAR = marine, Ext = exterior.
