Thanks Bill, you would know much more than I of course. What Ben told me is that he had a piece of Redwood that was particular stiff and light so he has used what he could of it for braces and has been happy with it. Worth a shot in my book. At 200 grams I think the top and brace combo would be considered pretty successful at this point. I know he does deflection testing as well (I had an email with pics of that, but I deleted it by mistake and could not get it back), so there should be consistency in the stiffness allowing it to be made as light as he can and fit within his parameters for stiffness.
Maybe Ben will stop by and expound some more on this?
Thanks,
Tom
