Another week or two and will weigh this and post the results on the Web. I'm using good Douglas Fir, VG, Kiln Dried and have learned to like it. Fir (good Fir) is readily available at your local lumberyard. You need to be able to pick your pieces. I'm using Basswood Plywood throughout, because I've tested the joints and find the glue bonds better than Birch/Fir. Maybe Birch/Spruce would be better?My local hardwood store sells nice Basswood lumber, and I would certainly buy some of this for non-satructural applications if I were to do the job over again.________________________________________________________________________________
