[AT] OT Barn floor question

[Gene Dotson]

    Larry;
    When I restored my airplane, some of the wood stringers were rotted out. I
got grade 1 cedar and had it ripped to the dimension I needed. There are no
knots in it at all. It is expensive though, $18.00 for a 10 foot 2X4, but 1 was
all I needed. Cedar is stronger than redwood or spruce.
