Hello Netters, I recalled reading a government report from the twenties pertaining to use of alternative wood in aircraft production. I've located the link and thought I'd post it. Realizing that in the twenties that many aircraft were constucted of wood I thought that this would have some bearing on the KR constuction.
http://naca.larc.gov/reports/1920/naca-report-67/ I hope this helps, I can also recall reading a report pertaining to the tensile strength and weights of different woods but have yet to locate that.
