I am currently in the process of giving my boat her hundred and first year refit and am on the lookout for around 200 to 300 silicon bronze 12 gauge woodscrews 2 inches long at an affordable price.
Searches I have made so far indicate prices around 80p to £1 each which is more than I want to pay unless I am forced to.
Marguerite is a small 21 foot sloop, designed and built by Wm. Fife of Fairley in 1905. Her topsides are planked in Kauri pine, pitchpine below the waterline, oak sawn frames and rock elm ribs. All as fresh as the day she was built. Some of her fastenings are however getting a little tired and need replacement. I am reluctant, indeed adamant that I must use bronze.
Sorry to bore you, I get carried away. Any information on sources of bronze woodscrew would be appreciated.
