GC438R Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Good Day I am replacing windows in my 29 Plymouth `U' and found the drivers door panel that the window roller and door pulls attach to are badly cracked. I am guessing only that this is a piece of hardwood but not sure of type. I am not so worried about matching for authenticity, this is just a Sunday ice cream driver, but whatever was used lasted close to 90 years so I would like to use the same. Thanks in advance..

keiser31 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I believe that was kiln-dried ash. Others may have an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yes, agree, you bet your ash was the best choice. Easy to work when fresh, when moisture settles out dries hard as a rock, fine grained so holds fasteners well. Get it while you can, the ash borer is killing trees daily.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Scafani Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I may be overly sensitized to political correctness, but the jocular wordplay of ash and ash boring can be construed as being knotty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yes, it could be considered knotty, yew did well.....I pine for the simpler days when we weren't as politically correct, and we didn't have to spruce up what we say...but I guess I'm aspen for the impossible....

trimacar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Just make sure you have the cashew need to buy ash, it's getting expensive, and you may need to grease palms to get the best cuts. Even though fabric and cottonwood cover the interior,, the wood needs to plum perfect to have a nice car. Orange you glad you asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
