: Some of the recent data I have suggests that hand-laid
: plain weave glass results in a stiffness and failure strain pretty close
: to that of wood (cedar), so I really don't think it would be a problem

Hi Sam,

at the risk of opening a can of worms here, do you have any idea what the explanation is for your recent data demonstrating little improvement of composite vs. wood construction? It's counterintuitive, and I'm trying to understand the mechanics.

TIA for any light you may be able to shed
