Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: spruce suppliers (Isablcorky(at)aol.comRick,I bought a Piet project from Joe Czaplicki of Zion, Ill. Fuse and feathers completed in spruce. I had one month before bought 8 pcs of select Douglas Fir2X6 16 ft from Edensaw. Since I had this wood I decided to use it for my wings.I sold that I didn't need to a builder in Florida. I paid $4,50 a bd ft for the fir .I guess I decided on Spruce after talking with Jim Ferris at Edensaw last Jan when he told me of some extra special quality spruce he had recently acquired. It's beautiful but was almost twice the price of fir.When I first contacted him in May 2000 I told him I required wood with an absolute straight grain of at least 8 to 12 per inch without any knots or pitchpockets. He called me back several days later stated he could furnish the quality I required except the wood would have 18 to 24 grains to the inch.I hope this explanation answers your questionsCorkyEdensaw Woods Ltd Attn: Jim Ferris211 Seton Road Port Townsend, Wa 98368-9300360 385 7878FAX 3603855215edensaw(at)edensaw.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 08 Sep 2003 00:32:02 -0400
