Klondike-PW Bill of Materials

The following list of materials is intended to be a general guide only. Before ordering any materials, the text and plans should be checked for possible options. On a project this size it is always desirable to purchase a reasonable amount of materials initially and purchase additional material as it is required. This will enable many left over pieces to be utilized in the construction with much less waste. Lumber is listed in lumberyard sizes while the Plan Sheets give NET dimensions after milling, so there will appear to be a discrepency. For example, stock listed as 2" thick in this bill of materials will usually finish to 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" (as in the plans), depending on the type of wood. Unless noted otherwise, a minor variation in thickness, plus or minus 1/8" is not critical. The width dimensions (second figure listed) of Douglas-fir will actually be somewhat less than the listed dimension, while for hardwoods, the width figure would be NET. This is due to the manner in which these materials are milled and marketed. All lumber used should be first grade free from shakes and knots. Mahogany (dark red Philippine type or Honduras), Douglas-fir, and white oak are called out in the listing, lumber typical to the locale and of similar types and weights may be substituted. All plywood (PW) is to be marine (MAR) or exterior (EXT) grade. The marine-type is preferable as the inner cores are solid and thus the panel has more structural integrity. Douglas-fir (DF) is satisfactory with the quality of the exposed faces of the veneer being designated by the letters "A" or "B". The "AA" grade panels are always preferable, however, "AB" grade is acceptable. All fastenings should be bronze or hot dipped galvanized ferrous metal. Brass fastenings are not advised nor are the electroplated screws commonly sold in hardware stores. All screws are to be of the flat head type intended for wood. All nails are of the ring-type nail common to boat construction. Unless otherwise specified, all wood-to-wood joints are to be glued with a waterproof or highly water resistant glue such as epoxy, plastic resin, resorcinol, or other equivalent type used per the manufacturer's instructions regarding temperature, clamping requirements, curing time, and mixing method.
CHECK ALL SIZES TO THE WORK PRIOR TO CUTTING. Abbreviations used are: Mahog = mahogany; DF = Douglas-fir; PW=plywood; Ext=exterior; MAR=marine.

* Deadwood may be built up progressively using laminations of 1" to 2" thick members laid flat in widths to suit in lieu of above.
** Transom knee may be built up with thinner and solid wood members scabbed on each side with 3/4" plywood laminations in lieu of above.
*** Some builders may wish to use DF Ext AB PW for the planking. This is sometimes satisfactory, however, the material must be free of major voids, used where bending is minimal, and where patches or plugged areas will not be exposed to moisture. In any case Marine grade is superior.
+ 4' x 8' panels can be butt joined and overlapped as required to cover the area in lieu of the above.
