Vintage sitka spruce lumber and aircraft grade mahogany plywood for sale?

Folks, I have about 35 bd-ft of Sitka spruce from an aircraft project my father started in 1967, but never finished. The boards are surfaced two side (S2S), predominately quarter-sawn (biggest angle of the grain is 45 degrees) and very tight growth rings (15 - 32 rings/inch). The lumber has been stored in a garage (no heat or A/C), but dry and off the floor, since he abandoned the project in the early 70s. I have 14 pcs, 4'8" to 11' 2" long and 1 7/8" to 6" wide. Most are 5/8" to 7/8" thick with a couple 3/8" thick. Let me know if this might be of use to a builder. It may be of more value to guitar makers or boat builders.

I also saved a supply of 3/32 mahogany veneer aircraft grade plywood, 12 sheets 4' by 8'. Two sheets of 1/4", and five 4' by 8' sheets of 1/16" mahogany veneer. I think I saw Aircraft Spruce sell similar plywood for $180 or so per sheet. The stamps on the plywood date it to 1965 - 1967. One sheet has the grain at 45 degree angle to the long edge. Would $125 per sheet be reasonable? It's ok if this doesn't sell, as I may decide to build a boat.

The wood is in southwestern Ohio, and would be available for pickup if we can agree on price.

Thanks,

Steve

I am interested in 3/4 or 7/8 thick boards to build boat paddles. I can use short pieces at least 4 ft. in length. In 3/4 thickness I would need two boards 5" or wider 4' long. I realize this is not much of your supply, but I can put it to good use. I would need it shipped to Raleigh NC. I have shipped lumber by UPS before, and no problem for 8 foot lengths was experienced.

Hi Steve, Do you still have the spruce and plywood?

Hello,
My name is Tim. I am in Mt. Vernon Ohio and was wondering how much you would sell me 4 sheets of the 1/16 or the 3/32 4x8 sheets. I can drive to you to get them almost any evening or on the weekends any time. my number is 740-326-1321. Thanks, Tim.

All, Sorry for the late reply, I haven't had time to log on for a while. Yes. I still have the entire stock.
Call you tomorrow, Tim.

Hi Steve, I'm interested in the spruce, 1/4 inch sheets and a couple of the 1/16 inch sheets. Please give me a call at 317-941-0343. Thanks, Tom

All, the veneer and one sheet of 45 degree plywood has sold.

In going through the stack again. I found the 1/4" sheets were really two 3/32" sheets. I recounted and have 15 sheets of the plywood left I also still have the spruce. It measures out to be just over 33 Bd-ft in 14 pieces. (I counted everything 5/8" and thicker as 1 for the bd-ft calculation). if you want the dimensions please send an email or phone #. 4 pcs are 7/8" and vary from 6' 5" - 11' 2" long. Those widths vary from 2" to 5 7/8". Three pcs are 3/8" thick, 8 - 9 ft long, 2 3/8 - 3" wide. The rest are 5/8" thick, 7-10 ft long (two are 6'5" and 4' 8") Widths, ~2" - 6" (3 wide , 4 narrow)

Tom, sorry about the 1/4.

Wayne, I'm hoping to avoid the hassle of shipping, but if it doesn't sell locally soon, I'll call you.

Hi Steve, No worries on the 1/4 plywood. I'm still interested in the spruce. Where are you located in Ohio? I've got to run down to Hamilton later this month with a trailer to pickup a project. You anywhere near there? Thanks, Tom

I'm in the Dayton OH area, about 30-40 min north of Hamilton. Later this month could work.

All, The Sitka spruce has sold. I still have 10 4'x8' sheets of 3/32 mahogany veneer plywood. (9 sheets of "regular" and one sheet where the grain is at a 45 degree angle) (As of 29 June 14)
