Does anyone know where I might find enough Douglas Fir suitable for use for spars for the Woodstock 12 meter wing? I need pieces in the 12ft range. Does anyone know where I can have these spars made if I dont want to do them myself? This project doesnt go very far without spars!

I recently replaced the Original Equipment Michelin MXV4 H-rated tires on my VW Passat 4 motion wagon (Variant for those of you in Europe) with Dunlop SP 40 A/S all weather radials. Other than lacking a speed rating, they are the same dimensions as the originals. Although the new tires are...
