Default Stealth Pilot & AK yeller Cedar

You lucky sob---You mean you can buy AK Yellow Cedar 2X6's from a local
store???

That's the bestist wood they is!! Jest compare it straight across the
pages of Forest Product's handbook on wood!!!

10% stronger, in every respect, also 10% heavier, but jes build it 10%
smaller.

I wuz in lumber bus. in small town in OKla.--went to the big City to
Screen Door mfg plant--(before Aluminium Storm doors)---
They were buying RR cars of AK yel Cedar in 5/4" thk & random widths
& lengths---most of it 10-16" wide 16-20 " long BEAUTIFUL boards,
fine grain--bought me a bunch & framed up an airboat.. Looks like soft
white pine 'till you wet it ,or varnish it, then you get the beautiful
pale yellow color---Oh yeah, then I built a buncha OrganPipe boxes out
of it.


Good ole Daze
