    Thanks for the note, Gene! Actually, meeting up with the Flybaby group would be neat. That name is pretty high up on my list of favorite homebuilts! I'm just hoping the rain holds off so I can spend some time there tonite! Thanks again. jm ----- Original Message ----- From: Gene & Tammy Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 12:05 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Anyone going to Arlington tomorrow evening? Jim, I follow the flybaby site as well as this site (it's a wood plane) and I find the members very knowledgeable and frendly. If you don't find any Pieters I think it would be worth your while to go talk with them. They are having an open BBQ. If you will go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flybabylist/message/7260 you will find the invite and directions. Only wish I could be there. let me know if it works out Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Markle Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 10:29 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Anyone going to Arlington tomorrow evening? I'm in town on business and might get to go over around 5:00pm for some wandering around... Any other Piet folks gonna be around?

    I don't know if you can get super small quantities, but ck out Bear Creek Lumber. I know they sell "select vertical grain DF". They shipped me a bunch for a house project from WA to KY and it was still a deal. They sent me sample pics of their stacks. For extra, somebody there might hand choose some pieces for you. Never tried them for airplane stuff, but that's their specialty. google search them Douwe

    Douwe, I sent them an inquiry today to see how much my small amount would cost. A "signicant handling charge" accompanies small orders. I thought I would at least check it out.

    Hi Terry, Go to your local lumberyard and check if they stock clear Douglas Fir flooring. My lumberyard does and my entire Piet is made of it. The planks are typically 7 to 9 inches in width and anywhere from 10 to 16 feet long. If they will let you go through the stack you will find a lot of them are almost perfect quartersawn and almost all of mine are 10 to 16 growth rings per inch. They only have to be 8 rings per inch if I remember right. The planks will be S4S and their thickness will be 3/4 inch to 11/16 inch. All of my longerons and uprights are 1"x3/4" and in my personal (do your own tests) tests all are as strong as or stronger than 1"x1" spruce. You do have to be a little careful to use sharp saw blades and watch for splintering, but I have had absolutely no trouble. Cheers, Jim
