Meranti is a semi hard wood from Malaysia , also called Lauan, or Malaysain Mohogony.Class 4 strength, what ever that means. The grain in usually interlockingand straight. Just wondering if it has ever been used in Aircraft construction.Every lumber yard here in Austrralia has this timber and the availabilityof clear, straight grained lumber is in abundance. I am confident in it's abilityto be used in a propeller, but I am wondering if it has been used in anystructral applications.CharleyRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

http://www.timber.net.au/index.php/spec ... i.htmlSome of you may remember this stuff as "Philipine Mahogany"I've used quite a bit of it for various things in the past.I wouldn't use it for a prop myself. I still have two pieces of1" X 6" X 8', BOTH of which are warped to unusability.Now you know why I still have them. :-)If you do plan on using it better get it now. It is estimatedthat it will be logged out by 2012.White Oak( not Red ), Ash, Birch, Maple, Walnut would bedecent choices.ClifLady, you want me to answer you if this old airplaneis safe to fly? Just how in the world do you think itgot to be this old? Jim Tavenner>> Meranti is a semi hard wood from Malaysia , also called Lauan, or > Malaysain Mohogony. Class 4 strength, what ever that means.

That sounds cool. What a neat vision your comment just put in my head. I plan to color mine up in OD Green with Allied Forces invasion stripes on thewing. Big fat ATV tires would look kind of cool... and I would think that withATV racing, there should be some strong and lightweight wheels out there withdecent braking systems.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Has anyone ever used Maranti timber in their Pietenpol?
