Overview
Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) is famous for very high strength, thanks to its long, straight grain. It is still widely used for building aircraft. In boatbuilding it is most likely to be seen in spars of all kinds. Sitka spruce isn't ultra-light, but it IS enormously strong for its weight. CLC uses this Sitka spruce for most of our spar kits. Available in 4 foot or 7-1/2 foot lengths that can be shipped by UPS. Longer 12' lengths must be picked up at our Annapolis facility, or shipped by way of freight truck; freight shipping will require a shipping quote. Note that shipping costs increase for longer lengths.
Finish: rough 4 sides
Pickup Orders: Please call ahead to check on availability. If you plan to pickup on a Saturday, we suggest placing your order in advance and we will have our shop prepare your the order.
