Question: If you were buying wood to build ribs with, where would you go to get
it? I didn't want to buy Sitka Spruce boards and cut them with my tablesaw.
I'm interested in finding out if I bought the wrong type of wood.
I didn't buy a lot but in talking with the establishment I bought it from, I was
VERY surprised to hear their last statement on dealing with this problem. (In
the end, if I do have to eat the wood I bought I'm only out $300 and much better
educated, perhaps worth the $300)

For my first project I bought from Aircraft Spruce. Wood was great quality,
but took a long time to get delivered. Second project, I tried cutting my
own, that didn't work too well, so I ordered from Wicks. Great quality,
quick delivery and about the same price as ACS.

I bought 96 pieces of capstrip from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty to do the ribs.
I was concerned with the grain slope and the overall crappy quality of the
order (some pieces missing CHUNKS!). I bought Advisory Circular 43.13 (also
a download from FAA which I recommend to anyone building a wooden plane) and got
the FAA definition of airworthy wood (grain slope not to exceed 1 inch over
a 15 inch length on ALL FOUR FACES). My order was plagued with knots, divots,
and grain issues. I called them, quoting 43.13, and they said they would replace
any bad wood, but would have to check with Mr. Irwin (president???) for
authorization. This was the last thing I heard from them...
"The only wood they sell specifically for structural use is spar material." So
my assumption is that the capstrip, and all the wood they sell (non-spar) is
for non-structural (decorative?) use. Since I'm new to this (ribs are my first
part of this project) I'm wondering how everybody else gets aircraft grade lumber.
What is capstrip anyway? Am I misinterpreting something here?

I got my wing rib stock from wicks, good wood, good service, good price.
They were cheaper on steel last time I ordered too. Fuselage wood came form
the guy in Canada (Gene Peters), but I think he retired. This is the second
time someone on the list had problems with Aircraft Spruce. Hope its not a
trend.
