Milling Sitka Spruce for aircraft - Ep3

Breaking down Sitka Spruce for aircraft timber destined for a for a 1917 Sopwith Camel. The timber starts at 100 x 150 x 4500mm (6" x 4" x 15') and has 64%of the timber removed, leaving a few useful sticks for production timber. A reasonable guess would be 2/3 of the production timber will also go to waste, meaning perhaps a 10% recovery rate from this beam (ie. 90% is destined to be firewood and sawdust).

    Thanks Richard, I'm looking forward to the day eventually when I can binge watch myself doing this to completion. One day, just gotta keep plugging away at it :-)

    Staining can be caused by bacteria or fungus in the timber which may eventually cause it to rot, losing strength in the process. Not all staining leads to rot, but I don't know enough to identify the different types. Houses are built very robust and will not collapse with a bit of rotten framing. Planes are built very light and will fail with even small amounts of rot.
