WEST WIND HARDWOOD INC.1-800-667-2275SIDNEY,B.C.westwind(at)islandnet.com Talk to Jan pronounced Yon he very knowledgeableand has sold wood for aircraft construction before. Alsothere 1/16" or 1.5 mm baltic birtch is good stuff and thereokoume plywood (used for kayak construction) is priced right.the 1/4" or 6 mm is 5 ply of equal lamanates the 3 mm hasa some pin knots. Also there's a lumber yard called Morrison's just north of West Plain Mo, that sells balticbirtch plywood for about $12 a sheet, Its strong my personalbelief is it's ok for aircraft construction,this is not a science just my belief. also you can check with edensaw woods they have ply and douglas fir boat and you can do a search on the internet.-----Original Message-----

I ordered douglas fir boat lumber at $ 4.00 a board foot 12% moisturecontent. figure about 30% to 40% waste after cutting out knotsplaning and sawing. I received 160 bf plus 1/4, 1/8 okoume and1/16 birch boat ply plus shipping for about $1500.00 dollars. Iv'e found that building a Pietenpol is much cheaperthan smoking and drinking and much safer than chasing women.-----Original Message-----

I guess you could call that a free Piet as I can if I ever build mine, Iquit smoking back in 1980 when I was smoking two packs a day at 50 centsper pack, now I think they are 2 bucks a pack. But I never saved themoney as I kept buying toys, Boats , motorcycles and now buildingairplanes, But I think flying an airplane is much safer than smoking orriding motorcycles.I still drink beer and even brew it sometimes.Gordonwrites:>I ordered douglas fir boat lumber at $ 4.00 a board foot 12% moisture>content. figure about 30% to 40% waste after cutting out knots>planing and sawing.

I got the call from Jean Peters yesterday (on my birthday!).My wood has been shipped. According to the tracking numberit was at ATL yesterday. It doesn't show a status thismorning.For the record - all of the spruce for a Piet was $1578 US plus shipping. The shipping charge will be $124.60 to Rochester, NY. Jean was not sure if the shipping pricewas in $US or $CDN. After sitting down with the plansand an AS&S catalog this looks pretty reasonable.I guess I should have gotten off my duff and ordered therib gusset plywood earlier. That order was placed on Friday.DaveGotta loft a rib jig________________________________________________________________________________
