Supposedly, Ken Hyde of "The Wright Experience" actually used West Virginia silver spruce for his machines. Theyway I heard it, and this is NOT a verified fact, he found someone with a tree, had it cut & milled, etc. His wood did look a little different from mine, but that have been from the finish his people used. "The Wright Experience" was funded by Ford (yeah, that Ford), several other major corps., and Harry Combs. SUPER DEEP pockets folks. They spent millions building what cost me a few thousand. They are building (built) everything from the kites to the 1911 model B and then actually fly them: http://ns97.webmasters.com/*wrightex...sion/index.htm
