Cypress cores.
Is anyone using cypress for cores or sidewall? I didn't bother looking up the elasticity or strength yet, Does it cut well and glue well?
Its either that or ipe for sidewall for me.

seems pretty soft....Not sure I'd trust it under binding screws.

Just found these guys yesterday, while looking for someone else. They're in Cali (of course), but here you go...

On a side note, I've been doing a good bit of research on the trees, and am thinking of starting a small tree farm, so in a few years I may be able to supply NE builders...

I got a guy. Pm me. 3 bucks a board foot. I ordered 24 1x6. He sent 22. Still happy. Shipping killed me cause I'm Canadian. Tuned out to be 6 bucks a board foot after shipping.
Anywho. Enlongata is the genus of the species you want. It's the strongest. Mine arrived with a 8 percent moisture content, and weighed in at 15 pounds a cubic foot. Mind blowing light. Feels light like foam. The down side- it's about as soft as foam.

I have some paulonia on the way to mix with the 14m2 of bamboo i just picked up
Was looking at Paulownia over the last few days. seems to be v. light and ok for strength. You going to use it in combination with the bamboo, or other timbers?
