Try Aircraft Spruce & Specialty, or Wicks Aircraft Supply. Pieces thatsmall can be shipped UPS so the shipping costs won't be too bad.Good luck trying to get Resorcinol to "let go". It won't (if it was gluedcorrectly), even if you immerse it in boiling water for 24 hours (you'llneed a really big teapot).Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

I really like Mccormicks in Madison WI. However, you'll be buying a bigger piece...For a repair that small, Doug Fir, or even yellow pine will work fine with a veryminimal weight penalty. Given the natural variance of weight, there may noteven be ANY penalty. In the pics of the repairs I just displayed a few daysago, I used southern yellow pine (it has similar shrink/swell characteristics,so the joints should not get stressed with seasonal moisture variation) froma pallet. EASILY graded to aircraft grade. I just carve joints apart with chisels. Had no problem getting resorcinol gluejoints apart this way. The little nails are hell on the chisels though...Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 05:42:59 -0700 (PDT)
