Pardon my lack of experience. I'm about to order the 1/4" x 1/2" capstrip to startmy winter goal of completing the wing ribs and this will be the first stageof my construction. I was just wondering if the sizes listed by Aircraft Spruceand other online sources of Sitka spruce are the exact sizes you get ordo you order larger dimensioned wood and plane it to the exact size you need.(..for example a Home Depot 2x4 is really 1.5 x 3.5) Can you tell I'm a newbie?Thanks,Glenn________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Lumber DimensionsDate: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 14:46:27 -0500

Thanks Jack and DJ, Hopefully once I get the first piece built I'll develop a "sense"for the rest of the project. One of the people on the list, Lou Wither, wholives only an hour away from me, has offered his help as well as the use ofhis rib jigs. Again, this list and the support and ideas it provides ismore valuable than I can put to words. I can't believe I'm finally doingsomething I've been waiting to do for over 20 years!Thanks!Glenn----- Original Message -----
