Tom posted this just at the right time. I was at Hiawathe Lumber at 42nd & Hiawatha today and picked up spar material. They are a bit low on stock right now but still have some nice 18' pieces. I paid $2.79 per running ft for 1x8x18.That is fully sanded finished 3/4x7 1/4.I paid a total of $305.70 for enough to do both spars, make trailing edges and leading edges and cutting blocking with spare. Also this is for 16' mand 18' sections as this is for a different plane.Scherer Brothers Lumber at 9 9th AVE NE Mpls also carries it. Right off 35W at Broadway. They dont stock it at their Arden Hills yard.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________
