Teak and Holly plywood, unusual spacing.

[wholybee]

I am replacing a single rotted panel in my cabin sole. The entire cabin sole has been replaced in the past, using 1/4" teak and holly over 3/4" marine plywood. I believe the work was done in the Los Angeles area. I am in the San Francisco Area.

However the teak and holly plywood used has a spacing of 1-25/32" teak and 7/32" holly. Or in metric, 4.5cm x 5mm. All I can find anywhere is spacing of 2-3/8 teak and 1/4" holly.

I really don't want to redo my entire cabin sole. Does anyone know a source of this odd plywood? It has to have come from somewhere.

If the panel is small-ish, I would consider doing a contrasting inlay/marquetry project. I was at an up-north cabin with an inlayed welcome mat of a geometric design and really liked it. Pic below is similar:






Otherwise, found this with the Duck-Duck-Go:

Standard Specs:
Panel Size- ¾ x 4′ x 8′
Pattern Spacing- ~1 ¾” Teak ~3/16” Light Inlay

Metric Specs:

Pattern Spacing- 45mm Teak and 5mm Light Inlay

Wholybee, any joy finding that spec plywood nearby?

No, nothing local. And the few places not local, for the price of shipping I can by enough local to redo the whole sole. So, while I'm not looking forward to it, that is what is going to happen. And in the end, I'll have "normal" dimensioned teak and holly striping.

I suppose you could find surplus teak and go to a mill to have it cut to size and thickness and substitute a light colored hardwood for the holly.

A 4x8 sheet of teak and holly plywood is $265 locally. 3 sheets will do my whole interior. So, I get an entire new sole for $800. It just isn't worth the effort and expense to match it.
