Hi,Actually, he has moved his operation and has a new business number. It's(403)250-1955.I have to agree that the wood he sells is very good. He was a littlereserved about just selling me the spar material prefering to sell me acomplete wood kit. In addition to selling wood, he will also mill yourspars to spec. My spars had a 15 degree bevel on the top edge. He cut thatfor me going by a copy of the spar plans I gave to him. They were aperfect fit and I didn't have to worry about screwing up my spars on thetablesaw
. The last time I was there he was building a main spar for a customer'sGP-4. Quite a piece of work as it's a full length box spar that tapers inboth direction towards the tips.
