Anyone have a small piece of teak to sell?

I'm talking small here--all I need is a piece 5" x 3/8" x 3/8" to fix a broken teak door jamb to my head. If you have such a scrap and are willing to part with it, let me know.

Thanks.

I have plenty of scrap pieces left from projects. I would suspect however, that the postage (& handling) cost for me to ship it to you, would equal or exceed what you could buy it for locally.

T34C has a good recommendation - but if you have no luck, then PM me. What I have is the brownish color teak - not sure if it matches your door jamb.

Send me your address and I will send you the piece.
All the best,

Happen to have several thousand (well, hundreds anyway) available. Measure app. 1.5" X 8" X 1/2", several random lengths also available. Beautiful gray color, most already have at least one predrilled hole handy for attaching to almost anything. Pre-sealed on three sides with tough black sealant to keep water out. Just tell me how many you want, no minimum, you pay shipping from Anacortes. Hurry, going fast (to the dump).

Sounds like an interesting deck project; how'd it go? And why are they all 8 inches long? The plot thickens .... inquiring minds want to know.......

In order to make it easier to pry the boards up we had to use a circular saw to cut them app. every 8" across the grain. It probably would have been a LOT easier if it had been 80F instead of 30-35F. We found it easier to pry each board up when it was cut, and easier to start the next from a clean cut end rather than the ragged, broken end left when it broke. It took 6 man days to remove the teak from our 40', thank the Gods it was only on the lower deck and not on the cabin tops as well. The good news: no core rot! Holes are now potted, deck ground down and almost ready to glass and non-skid. Few more weekends, couple hundred more dollars and we'll be done (HAH! in my dreams!). Actually we are hoping to splash her sometime in April.
