    You could try Australian Furniture Timbers in Port Melbourne

    I used Palownia for the stringers, from Port Phillip Blinds in Moorabbin.

    Much lighter.

    The Hardwood Gunwale caping is dependent on what colour you want.

    Using the Palownia as much as I did elsewhere allowed me to use Jarrah and still came in aroung min weight on Fiona’s boat.

    I prefer the Ally Tiller, easier to make and I’ve never had one break.
    I’ve seen to many timber ones break at states and Nats.
