KR> doug fir

[Don Chisholm]

spar quality sitka spruce is 28 lbs.
per cu. ft
doug fir is 31 lbs. per cu. ft. and is
resultantly that much stronger
if weight reduction is your consideration
reduce the dimensions by 28 over 31
without sacrificing any structural integrity
by laminating pieces together you can make
it hell bent for strong without adding any weight
