In Response To: Re: Material: Strongback (Pete Notman)

I was considering the weight issue tonight when I was truing up my forms. I used MDF and it is truly heavy. So I am still not sure which way I am going to go. I have to check out a few more lumber yards before I make the decision. I want to keep the building cost minimal so I can outfit at leisure. I haven't looked at pine or WRC yet. I have to go to a specialty store (lumberyard) and everything is imported. Cedar is considered exotic or so I was led to believe. So far my inquiries have resulted in: Cedar? Wots that? lol.
