"Now I find native to Australia another conifer called Hoop Pine which also does the job albeit it a little heavier and it is laminated to make select grade ply.....cheaper again. This wood was also used in certain aircraft built over here during WW2 and there are aviation specifications still available for it." John Martindale
Thanks for mentioning this alternative structural material available in AUS John. I think I've seen it mentioned here on KRNET some years ago as being just as good or even better in some respects as northern spruce.
