So happy

(1/5) > >>

Nasr:
I went to the lumber yard that I always go to and asked if they had sitka spruce and he said yes and he showed me a bunch of it in the back which i never go to. I did not know they carried it. I was so happy I just took the shortest piece which was 7.25"d wide 2"thick and 61". Can anyone please tell me how wide the square stock needs to be? I want to get as much shafts as I can from this.

Russ:
Uhh you want to trade?   ???
But seriously dude thats a big score! 
do half an inch. That should get you get you... hm 4 per sq inch, so 8 per 1 inch heighthwise, 16 per 2 inch, 16*3, 48  for the first 6x2, plus 16 plus 4. If you dont break any and its perfect you should get 68*2 which is 134. You could get 134 if you do all the work and its perfect! Jeese dude! Thats alot!

Russ:
Doin the math again.

Russ:
Re did it, you can get 120 shafts if you do 1/2 inch cuts at 28-30 inches

Nasr:
He has a bunch of this stuff and always keeps in stock. He said that people build airplane wings with it and has customers for it. I also took pictures of exotic wood for bows and I will be posting pics to see if anyone has built anything from them.
