30 tudor top wood question
Hello its been awhile since I have posted, just retired and starting on my projects, I have a 1930 tudor I am starting on and I was wondering if anyone has cut and replaced their own top wood. I pulled out some of the rotted wood and now looking to replace it, I ordered the bows and front header, I noticed I have to do some fit and finish to make them fit correctly... so I figured I might as well cut and form it myself.
I have woodworking experience and band saw, table saws and routers... my question is what species of wood would be recommended and is there anywhere to get the specs for like the rear header. all that was completely rotted and crumbled when removed. The sides over the door and windows were not complete at the front header, they were cut flush at the rear of header. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
