Im trying to find Pauwlonia in switzerland - which is more difficult than anticipated. Now one wood-dealer suggested "Western Red Cedar" as core material.
I did not find a lot of references for twintip building on the internet or on various forums (planning on laminating with CFK/GFK). The only comparision I found is from a boatbuilder forum and it seems to be quite similar in its properties to Pauwlonia.
Anybody have any expiriences?
Thank you
