It would beabout as light, stronger and cheaperthan balsa for spars and stringers though, right?And better quality for knots and straightness than spruce except maybe Sitka spruce.I don't know about price because I can't find it here. It isn't the same as cedar is it? Just a different name? Because I can get that. You could get a lot of 1/8" square strips out of a 2X4.
