Hey folks. I'm trying to locate a source to purchase Sitka Spruce. Specifically I'm looking for laminated Sitka Spruce panels and beams, The type, and grade used to make ultralight aircraft and watercraft.
A long time ago, in a life Far Far Away, we used to buy it it from Aircraft Spruce and Specialities to make ultralight racing canoes and kayaks. I did a google search on Aircraft Spruce and Specialities and didn't come up with the company I was familiar with. Any and all help would be appreciated. I don't need beams 22'-26' long anymore, so a mail order source would be fine. Thanks in advance.

They are still around as far as I can tell. Try http://www.aircraftspruce.com or call 877-477-7823. If this is what you tried, maybe they got bought out or someting. Catalog I have is from 2001-2002.

Hmm... I guess that must be them. I seemed to remember a different format, but maybe a catalog will look more familiar.
Thanks for the URL. I'll give them a call.
