However, other planking options and variations are possible as I’ll discuss later. Our mahogany runabout plans are detailed for cold molded planking methods finished off (at least on the topsides) with natural wood mahogany veneers. Part of the purpose of the following article is to present still other optional ways these boats can be built. Otherwise, you can make your own veneers by resawing from thicker solid stock, or find a sawyer capable of such work.

Other sources our builders report using for veneers include professional boatbuilders building with such materials, millworks capable of veneering, and furniture manufacturers who either may sell such veneers directly or provide a cutting service. Also see the Glen-L List of Lumber Suppliers. Builders should also check for material sources in such magazines as WOODENBOAT, CLASSIC BOATING, BOATBUILDER, and ANTIQUE & CLASSIC BOAT TRADER.
Although our classic mahogany runabout plans come with a resource list complied by ourselves and with feedback from our boatbuilder/customers, suppliers do come and go, and items such as planking veneers, may not be available “off-the-shelf” everywhere, let alone at the local Home Depot.
