Tim,

SPA or not, I'd think of wood purchased toward a Tipo build as a "good life investment"!

However, Greg has a nice solution if it applies to you. Otherwise, if you absolutely need to build an SPA aircraft from this wood, it shouldn't be too hard to re-purpose it - unless of course, you've already made headway. If you're at the stage of cutting cores, you might like to consider another aircraft that could be built that is SPA legal. Having just built a little Deception, I would think that much of the wood used in a Tipo would actually be similar in a Deception. Of course, your cores would be different.

David.
