[Healeys] Healey wood

According to their web site, the AH BJ8 dash is made from Black Walnut Burl.
Other woods used are ash, beech, walnut and cherry. I would assume
(dangerous) that it is ash that is used for the hidden parts such as the
fold down panels, etc.

Curt is correct.  And I suggest that it may be time to ask those who know.
Why not check out Austin Healey Wood which is located in Oxford
Massachusetts
 USA  508-987-7301 or  http://www.austinhealeywood.com    After all, the
original question by Bill Schumann was " .... what kind of wood is used in
the
interior; eg., back panel structure, fold down panels, and the convertible
side and top rail pieces of a BJ8?"

Listers,  Great, I agree, wood frame cars are constructed of ash.  So buy a
Morgan and join the Morgan list ;-)  Healeys *are not* wooden frame cars and
as such what wood in them can be Oak, Mahogany, plywood (and possibly
whatever
else was available at the time) as Alan Seigrist has already stated. >>
