Hmmm, I don't think enough aircraft grade spruce exists anymore. I spent about $1500 on doug fir, Sitka Spuce and Okoume plywood just to build one of my airplane's wings. I can't even fathom how much it would cost to build a "Spruce Goose" in todays dollars. I wonder what the Spruce Goose would go for at auction? Probably alot less than the cost of the materials alone.
Thanks for all the kind words guys. Thinking back to when I finished the violin, I must admit to feeling pretty proud of it and holding it up next to the old/hag/naysaying violin lady's violin with it's crappy craftmanship was priceless!
