As I have been building my collection of resources regarding building wood airplanes, I have been frustrated by the both the numerous broken links, and the lack of a central repository. So I thought I would make a post organizing some resources, and then attach the files here so that they are available to forum users. Feel free to attach anything useful I have missed.

Grading Wood:
Military Specification Aircraft Spruce
Nasa Report on Aircraft Woods
Causes of Brashness in Wood

Wood Construction:

ANC-5 - Chapter 2, Wood
ANC-18 - Design of Wood Aircraft Structures, parts 1-3
Analysis and Comparison of I-Beam and Solid Wing Parts
Naca Report 344 - The Design of Plywood Webs for Airplane Wings Beams
