In Response To: Poplar? It's pop-u-lar to use (Paul Jacobson)

Actually, I'm working on plans for a stitch and glue right now (lunchtime).

I'm going to start cutting all of my leftovers from other projects, plus any cheap or free wood that I find into strips for a later boat build. I'll cut everything I get that's over two feet long, and stick it on a shelf for now. (I might get a couple of 6" pvc pipes to make storage tubes).

When I get a bunch of it I'll ocasionally scarf a bundle to make longer pieces. I like having several projects in the works at the same time (call it multitasking, eh)
