In Response To: Strip: How much weight does heavier wood add? (Steve Rasmussen)

Thank you Steve. This is very informative. I cannot get good WRC for a reasonable price here. I got 9 boards of locally grown poplar and I am planning to build with that. Very nice white wood but 25% heavier than WRC. So your calculations are very helpfull.

Greetings from the Netherlands.
