In Response To: Paddle: Question about Spruce (Bert)

Good question. I'm running out the door now but a great site for wood properties is the US Forest Service's Wood Anatomy Research pages at http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/TechSheets/techmenu.html (it takes a long time to load for some reason). And, as always, there's no substitute for buying a few boards and testing it out for yourself.

Have a good weekend,
