: 'Course, I do go recover poplar boards most weeks and
: the boards that I recover are WAY MORE than 50% heavier than WRC... Maybe
: they're not dried yet? Anyway...

I think were seeing the species difference here. The photo you posted shows much heavier grain than I've ever seen in the poplar boards I have.

: Still, I just can't even imagine getting one that I build down to 35#...
: Dang!

Just dumb luck on my part. I was very surprised at the weight.

Nice work in your photos, BTW :-)
