</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"> In the states we use hickory or pecan which is a similar species. I think I read that a good strong go- bar will apply somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 to 100lbs. of pressure. When I used go-bars I also used a caul on the top of the rib to help distribute pressure.<BR>

That is mostly a good plank fixed on your ceiling.<BR>
<BR>
What is the wood of choice for go-bars, and is there a method to ascertain<BR>
the pressure of it ?<BR>
<BR>
