New Wood - Burma Teak

 

 

Red white and blue and green.   Reclaimed teak with an American history to it.   Roberts Plywood has in stock old growth genuine Burma teak that is off the deck of a battleship.   These timbers were felled in the early 1930's.    They were shipped to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in Brooklyn New York and used on the deck of the battleship North Carolina.    The hull was laid in October of 1937.  

 

The North Carolina was one of the first commissioned of the US Navy's modern battleships. She received so much attention during her fitting out and trials that she won the enduring nickname "Showboat".  North Carolina completed her shakedown in the Caribbean prior to the Pearl Harbor attack and after intensive war exercises, she entered the Pacific on June 10th 1942 .    The North Carolina received 15 battle stars for World War II service - more than any other U.S. battleship during the war.
