Dan,
I just got the Timber package. To be clear, it is not included in the base kit, but is extra.
I got the milled option, since I don't have the tools to do some of the milling. I was very impressed with the quality of what I received.
Each of the parts was labeled with what it is to be used for. I also asked them to tell me what each type of wood each part was.
Here is the response.
Your mast, yard & bowsprit, centerboard spacers, keel nose block, timber aft block, sheet blocks, and gallows pole blocks are made out of Sitka Spruce. Your boom is made out of Fir. The rails & toe rails and transom skirt trim are Fijiian Mahogany. Everything else including the keel, stringers, framing, deckbeams, floorboards, rudder parts, companionway and tabernacle are made from Cypress.
Hope this helps!
thanks
