Re: [bolger] Thanks for the welcome.
How long are you going to be building? I can get you in contact with
some small mills in SE AK that can put lumber right on the barge, and
you can pick it up in Seattle. The draw back is its green and you have
to wait for it to season.
Edensaw lumber in Port Townsend can get you seasoned mast grade spruce,
$7.00 a foot last time I asked.

Thank you all for your responses. Originally I thought I would have
to learn how to put up a website to show my progress, and make
hundreds of long distance phone calls to get building advice. I was
wrong! I think I've found a home here. My boat is being built on
the cheap I guess, ACX ply and such. I am however having second
thoughts on spar construction. It seems that the hollow birdsmouth
approach would not only be light and strong, but the ease of aquiring
suitable lumber would be easier at the local lumberyard. When I
asked about 24 foot CVG 2x4's at the lumberyard I was laughed at!
I'll be doubling 1/4" ply on the bottom, and 3/8" for all else
excluding bulkheads which are 1/4". The local chandlry had West
System epoxy, so that's what I decided on. Does anyone know how many
Micro's are out there and if there is some sort of registry?
Thanks again,
Roy Dyngen
to learn how to put up a website to show my progress, and make
hundreds of long distance phone calls to get building advice. I was
wrong! I think I've found a home here. My boat is being built on
the cheap I guess, ACX ply and such. I am however having second
thoughts on spar construction. It seems that the hollow birdsmouth
approach would not only be light and strong, but the ease of aquiring
suitable lumber would be easier at the local lumberyard. When I
asked about 24 foot CVG 2x4's at the lumberyard I was laughed at!
I'll be doubling 1/4" ply on the bottom, and 3/8" for all else
excluding bulkheads which are 1/4". The local chandlry had West
System epoxy, so that's what I decided on. Does anyone know how many
Micro's are out there and if there is some sort of registry?
Thanks again,
