Hey guys, Not new to the list, but have not posted in a long time. I am buildingthe tail out of DF choice select. The reason for this is because that iswhat was available at LOWES. The grain all looked good so I started cuttingpieces. Now I know that DF is heavier than spruce and stronger at the sametime, but is all DF going to weigh about the same if the moisture content isthe same. I am wondering if my boards are heavier than usual. I picked upsome Western Red Cedar and it felt like a feather compared to the DF. Ialso know that WRC is not as strong as spruce. Anyway I got some T-88 inthe mail today and my gusset plywood is in the mail, so I should be able tostart assembly the tail soon if my wood does not resemble a boat anchor.Thanks in advanceNick H________________________________________________________________________________
