I have been taking lessons in a 172 that I bought this year and preparing for my checkride. My wood Fisher Dakota Hawk wing has been sitting in my garage for about a year now-unvarnished-as it is about 95% complete. I am in Arizona, and even though I keep the shop below 90F, the wood is getting dry. Some of my extra wood seems brittle.
a lot has been written about wood that's too moist but not much on it being too dry/brittle. Any suggestions on checking if the wood is still safe to use?
Its all spruce from Aircraft Spruce.
