Beautiful Sika SPruce

[Richard Brekne]

Hey Jude

I supppoose I shoulda figured out the saw marks myself.  But then not 
being primarily a wood-wookie I just took what was visual... added it to 
Dales comment about how clear the grain was... and got rather confrushed 
as it were :)

So.... are you making your own panels from raw lumber then ? Or are you 
getting premade panels and attaching the ribs only.

Cheers

    I remember when we were allowed to hand select boards from the
    lumberyard. We always had a sanding block in hand to sand the saw
    marks off the end grain to see what was there; I no longer need that
    block but it can be just as deceptive in person as it is in a low
    resolution photo.
