Phosphor or silicon
I plan on making some spreader bases and masthead fittings along the lines of Hereshoff's drawings in sensible cruising designs. My research has narrowed down to silicon bronze or phosphor bronze, of which I would buy a sheet 1/16" and build them up from layers as the Mr Hereshoff did. I am seeking advice on which would be better material and whether I can cold bend either.
