Well, I got my official info pack from Donald Pietenpol yesterday, and my check is now on it's way to him. Now I can start seriously biting my nails...My question is: Are there any reputable aircraft wood supply companies in or near the Eastern US? I live in Maine.

I would do that, and I might still look, but since I am new pretty new to this, I would feel much safer using wood that is intended for aircraft. At this point I wouldnt feel confident enough saying which wood is good enough or not. Call me picky.Richard> Just a thought you might try boat yards.
