When choosing wood to make strips:
Do you pick the ligtest board or the board with the rings closest together for strength? let us assume that direction of grain is as good in one board as on the other. I am to use spruce, but I guess that this will be the same decision whatever wood to be used. (Implicit belief on my part: Rings closer together means more strength AND more weigth. If the last assumption is wrong, then everything will be easier...)
