Sam-

Yes,I'm familiar with the handbook.

I also want to apologize if I've come off as a hardwood snob- I probably should have said 'high strength wood' instead of hardwood. As you pointed out earlier, there are plenty of strong softwoods (Port Orford, SY Pine, D fir, Sitka Sp) and several weak hardwoods (Tulip poplar is the one I'm most familiar with).

When I compare a thin strip of tulip with a thin strip of B locust or osage, I feel like I'm dealing with different materials. Like comparing B locust to aluminum, almost.

I took another look at your destructive test today. Very interesting. I was really surprised at the suggested contribution by the core. Really came through the test data. As you ran the test, what were your impressions regarding delamination? Any clear trends?

Mike
