This is not an infomercial but I just wanted to say I received 10 tops (5 sitka and 5 wrc listed as #3 grade) from a guy on ebay and they are perfect for beginners like me. The best part is, they are very stiff and the only problem visible was some color variations, which I happen to like. Total only came to 55 bucks. His ebay name is rct54. Again, I am not an infomercial but thought all the beginners out there might be interested. |

Frank, I've purchased builing supplies from Robert Tibbet before and have always been very happy with his wood. In fact all of the bracewood I have on hand was purchased from him. He has expanded the supplies he carries in the last year or so and I'm sure he will provide you with a price list if you request it. |

Hi Frank, I also bought some spruce bracewood to practice making braces. The quality was not the best, but for learning purposes it was OK. I also bought 5 pc of back splice spruce which was not very good at all. You have to watch him. He's actually honest and tells you the grade you are buying. Regards, Walter ![]() |
