John Maguire Posted February 11, 2017 Author #3 Posted February 11, 2017 Don, The kit info does not specify the wood type on either kit. I have removed the FAIR AMERICAN listing. Further inspection of the box interior revealed there are no wood billets. Strange . . . Respectfully, John Canute 1
dvm27 Posted February 12, 2017 #4 Posted February 12, 2017 Aren't the individual timbers comprising each frame laser cut into large billets of boxwood? I believe this is how the kit was designed.

DocBlake Posted February 12, 2017 #5 Posted February 12, 2017 That's correct, Greg. The framing (and a lot of the other wood) is boxwood. CNC cut so no laser char to deal with.
