Picked up a stack of old red wood this week that's been sitting out side in the weather for a long time. At first I didn't think it was any good but the more I looked we'll be able to get some good stuff out of it. While paddling I got to thinking about building a GP out of it. What do ya'll think about using red wood? It's tight grained and fairly light. It's also beautiful when finished. I've done one so far out of cypress but haven't tried it. As with anything done for the first time, it's functional but not great.
