Long ago & far away we heard/read a couple of suggestions: [at that time the ideas were put forward in relation to Ken's KR-1-type - - - I don't think he and/or Stu had even started to think about the -2's] - - - - - locate specs/sources of mahogany plywood as used in the manufacturing of hollow-core doors' skins. As far as structural wood, the idea was put forth to locate a source of Douglas fir of a [certified] grade called "ladder rail" material; supposedly it is more closely inspected than any FAA wood as far as grain, slope, inclusion, pitch pockets, etc. Usually supplied in various lengths of (dimensioned) 2x4, 2x5 and 2x6 which can of course be cut & planed to a/c plans specs. -----Original Message----- From: bepe <b...@indo.net.id> To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Fri, Sep 16, 2011 5:31 am Subject: Re: KR> KR-2 Wood (a bit long story) Thankyou Peter erry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- erry think you were very wise not to fly a plane built with Rhamin. It is a hort-fibered hardwood totally unsuitable for this kind of structural use.
