Hi ,

I'm having a hard time trying to find 3/16" thick bass wood in my area and was wondering if I can substitute another type of dense wood for bass wood ?

Thanks ,

Why not Birch Aircraft Plywood?

I'm going to feel foolish when I hear the answer, but what is a "Flap Horn Clip"?

1/4" thick basswood? It carves very easily. I use maple motor mount stock cut/sanded down to match.

Hi Fellas ,

I bit the bullet and bought a quantity of clips from Brodak's .
My favourite Canadian ,web store only had bags of scrap bass wood , so I figured not to purchase .
I think I'm in the clear getting them precut from Brodak's .

Thanks for thehelp .
