Among some other interesting stuff, I got a batch of teak from a very senior fella who worked at the Philadelphia Ship Yard during the WW2 time-frame. The teak is decking material that was never installed on a ship. You can tell it was meant for this purpose by the edge profile of the boards. I don't think this is what you're looking for but if you're interested PM me.

A buddy of mine are headed there later this month to look at this ship wood. If you would like me to take pictures and send facts, I can do that.

I have some blanks I cut from decking that came off the USS Franklin when it was rebuilt after it took a beating in WWII. It was given to me by a friend, Ray Bailey, who survived the attack. More info about this carrier can be found online. I might be willing to trade a couple. I don't have a COA but I did turn several pens from it for Ray's shipmates per his request and I fully trust what he says.
 
I forgot to add, contact me via email if interested. I don't get around here often so a pm doesn't do much good.
