Ke-Pau Bill of Materials
DO NOT PURCHASE ANY MATERIAL UNTIL YOU READ THIS SECTION.
LUMBER: Almost any good grade of lumber is adaptable in this type of
craft. The wood should be knot free (small solid ones are permissible),
properly dried, and free of splits. Lumber designated as 1" is "four
quarters" lumberyard stock, usually finished to ¾" net
thickness; 2" stock nets 1 ½". All widths are NET and the
noted lengths allow for cutting to fit. E.g: Lumber listed as 1" x
¾" will be ¾" x ¾" net size; while that
listed 1" x 1" would net ¾" x 1". Both would
preferably be ripped from standard 1" lumberyard stock. NOTE: The types of
lumber listed are as used on the prototype; spruce for lightweight and mahogany
for appearance. As stated in the prologue, other species can be substituted.
Although the sizes are noted individually, it is best to rip and trim to the
required sizes from wider boards. CHECK ALL SIZES TO THE WORK PRIOR TO CUTTING.
Abbreviations used are: Mahog = mahogany, DF = Douglas-fir.

| PLYWOOD: All plywood must be intended for marine or
exterior use. Interior grades are NOT acceptable. The letters "A",
"B", and "C" identifies the grade of the exterior veneer of
plywood panels. The best face of all panels should be the one exposed. Any
patches on lower grade veneers should be on the interior, especially on the
forward bottom. Check the PLYWOOD LAYOUT on the Full Size Pattern sheet 1 of 1
and these instructions for utilizing the listed plywood to obtain the various
parts. Abbreviations used are: DF = Douglas-fir; Mahog = Mahogany; PW =
plywood; Ext = exterior. |
