I'm sure someone here knows the answer....
Yeterday I popped in to one of the UK home building guru's for a bit of advice and I took the ends of the wood I have in the garage... we were talking about it and he raised the question about spars.
The goal is to get the grain running the length of the spar and ideally 12 rings to the inch.... what if the grains were at an angle?
The two on the top are the more suited wood... but if the two on the bottom were used what would be the resultant loss in strenght?
He said he should know the answer but didn't.....and I found it an interesting question....
This is not for a Pitts...
Thanks
