: I have plans that call for the sheer and chine to be made of phillipine mahagony. Could I use clear douglas fir instead for the mahogany without any sacrifice of strength or durability?
......Douglass fir is a fine boatbuilding wood and is possibly stronger than equivalent size mahogany. Many plans call for the use of DF. Good luck
