Re: [a/s] white oak interior?

[TOM WALDEN <twalden1@xxxxxxxx>]

Carol and everyone,
The limed white wood of the late fifties early sixties has a grain
similar to oak, but I have been informed that it is ash.  Important only
if you are planning to replace and match a section.  Someone had made a
bad job of stripping and refinishing the finish in my 58 Traveler and so
I had to take it down below the white (except in the open grain where no
amount of stripping and sanding does it).  The blond unfinished 1/4
plywood is available for about $70 a sheet.  I'm not sure if anyone
sells a white limed version nowadays.  It is a pleasant retro look that
has just come back in fashion so somebody must have it somewhere.
