That's good to know. How about the skin planks; look like 1'' wide but how thick? 1/16'', 3/32'' or 1/8''? While I'm thinking of it, are you using good ol' carpenters glue (I would, no matter what wood) or epoxy, especially at the stress joints or a combination?

the planks are 1/8"x1" but I wish I had a mini planer to make em 1/16",or a better tablesaw blade,all these planks were cut with a high dollar tablesaw,I have some planks that are 1/16" but didnt have enough.Im thinking of buying a mini planer and selling plank bundles.The spanish cedar is really nice to work with and I use regular elmers carpenters glue mixed with Sig wood glue,The sig is thin and the elmers I use is thick so I mix em up but elmers is just fine.
