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.

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

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,
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.
Thanks, Terry

Have you tried "craigslist"? You may have luck there.

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
