I'm in east Texas.My original intent was to buy a spruce kit from as&s but
in light of what I have read lately I'm probably ordering from Wicks.I was
just wondered if I gain anything cutting to final size myself.Willie

of course your results may vary,but I believe you will find that the bigger dimension
planks that are clear of defects and meet aircraft specs will be very expensive
and probably you will be much more likely to get smaller dimensions than
buying wide planks and ripping them up.i know some folks substitute Fir for
their projects,but I guess if I was starting another project I'd try to get
a wood kit from somebody like that myself as opposed to trying to grade wood myself.the
stuf is expensive but to spend the years of labor and not know that
I had used the best wood would bother me.raymond

I would have to say that this wood business falls into the usual "less
filling/more taste" type of endless discussion where nobody is absolutely
right. There seem to be two types of people in every aspect of life, and
this one's no different. Sometimes I prefer buying things ready to go,
other times I want to do them myself. Wood is one thing I like to pick out
myself. I never knew that until I started my other project, the Flying
Squirrel, but now I know that I want to handle, select, cut, mill, and
finish my own wood rather than have a precut bundle delivered to my door.
Some folks will get a lot of pleasure out of locating, grading, measuring,
ripping, planing, and sawing all their wood from rough-sawn planks. Others
want to get a "wood kit" with everything pretty much there so they can grab
a piece from the bundle, fit it to their jig, cut to length, and get busy
building. If you want to make a big leap and see progress in a short time,
purchase a wood kit from Wicks or AS&S and you'll soon have a "boat", or a
stack of ribs, or some tail feathers to show for it. If you'd rather
measure, shape, cut, fit, and personally make each piece of your airplane...
then go out and find some likely planks and cut away everything that doesn't
look like part of an airplane.
Each builder will have to decide for his/her self... there is no right or
wrong answer. Me, I like the smell of wood and I like the sound of
woodworking tools. I'll go the rough-sawn route. I never knew I liked wood
so much until I started seeing those nice pieces coming out the other side
of the planer and table saw, perfectly to the dimension I made them. Wood
is such a wonderful material to work with, and I guess that's part of the
reason why Piets are such wonderful machines. No pop rivets.
