I just bought some spruce from an RV6 builder in my local EAA chapter(he had already used several pieces to replace some trim around hishanger.....ARGHHH!!!!!) and I would like to know a little more aboutwhat I bought (for $.10 on the dollar,as it turns out).Here are some pictures of some of it with some kind of stamp that maybesomeone will recognize:http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i67b0 ... 445e43fNot a big deal but if anyone has any idea where this wood may have comefrom I wood (oops, would) like to hear your thoughts. Just a littlecurious. Actually, it's pretty dark but it's been around for a whileand apparently NOT well taken care of but there are no cracks orstress/bending fractures.Thanks!Jim in Plano TX.......(ribs are finished, elevators are done (well, there's a little moresanding and smoothing but the main parts are done.....) and most of thehoriz stab is cut and ready to join.........) Ribs and elevs are dougfir but after the recent spruce purchase I'm trying to do as much aspossible in the tail area with the lighter spruce (CGissues...)......the stab will be the first "non-doug fir" part.....________________________________________________________________________________
