Fellow Pieters,In the Southeast, the white wood at HD is white spruce or pine. All I'vefound has been white spruce. I have gone for the bigger boards, 2x6, 2x8,2x10. When you find a board with good grain, then start looking at how theknots are arranged along the board. I managed to find a couple of piecesthat I could get all of my longerons out of with the rest going to shorterpieces. It is amazing how much excellent wood you can get out of a 14 foot2x10 that cost less than $15. I spent a lot of time ripping after I got ithome, but my wife greatly appreciated all of the sawdust for the gardenmulch pile.Also, I got in touch with John Hoffman about his newsletter reprints and Ihad a set left for him. Never got his check. There is also one more setleft, packaged and ready to mail. Earliest dated Email gets them forwhatever they cost before. I think it was about $35, but I'll have to lookin the archives unless someone remembers.Mike in sunny SC> ________________________________________________________________________________
