The following table gives the material list for the scow as I built it. As elsewhere, metric dimensions (all in mm) for wood are finished sizes, while imperial (feet/inch) dimensions are nominal (ie, before planing).

Marine Plywood |
6mm (1/4in) thick |
3 sheets |
See nesting diagrams, but mainly side panels and internal structure. |
|
|
9mm (3/8in) thick |
2 sheets |

Hardwood |
73x22 (3inx1in) |
1 @ 1800 (6ft) |
Leeboard handles, plus some mounting blocks. |
|
|
35x17 (1 1/2inx3/4in) |
2 @ 3900 (13ft) |
Gunwhales, assorted bits from offcuts. |
|
|
22x22 (1inx1in) |
2 @ 3900 (13ft) |
Inwhales. |
|
|
22x10 (1inx1/2in) |
2 @ 3000 (10ft) |
Centre bottom rubbing strake (2-layer lamination). |
|
|
|

|
|
Softwood |
17x17 (3/4inx3/4in) |
7 @ 1800 (6ft) |
Seat bearers and joining fillets. This stuff is cheap and tremendously useful for various purposes, so an extra length would be good. |
|
|
73x46 (3inx2in) * |
2 @ 3600 (12ft) |
Longitudinals of building jig. |
|
|
46x46 (2inx2in) * |
2 @ 1500 (5ft) |
Transverses of building jig. |
|
|
46x22 (2inx1in) * |
2 @ 1800 (6ft) |
Uprights of building jig. An extra length of two of this cheap stuff will come in handy - for example, to cross-brace the jig. |
*Note : This material for the building jig could be sawn, not planed, but it will be easier to use planed wood and the extra cost is not great.
I hope this material list is complete - but if there are omissions, please let me know.
