One of the Wright recreators did use it, but then they also had a $7
million budget.

Thought I read somewhere that the Wright flyer had some bamboo in it,
is that so? Do you have any bamboo in yours?

BTW, I have 11 acres in West Virginia full of trees, mature trees. I
have 673' of road frontage and the whole 11 acres is covered with
mature trees, looks like they have never been cut or logged. I have no
idea which tree is which, can't tell a silver spruce from a red cidar
or any cidar for that matter. You're welcome to some if you wanna cut
them yourself.
