Hi DaveThanks for your suggestion for a course correction for this dreadnaught. As to birch being an old growth wood, it all depends on the supply versus demand. If the demand gets high enough, I'm sure they'll cut up the Spruce Goose with chain saws (it's actually made mostly out of birch plywood). Now I see you capitalized the word "Birch" in your post. Perhaps you meant the John Birch Society, and you are certainly not wrong that this is "old growth wood" to say the least (figuratively speaking of course). Birch is a funny wood (capital B because it begins a sentence here), it can look just like like maple and be nearly as hard as the some varieties, it can also look mahogany with a suitable stain depending on the grain. So where are you at with plywood futures: bull or bear?
