Default Re: Looking for 1928 Briggs Fordor wood plans.

For small flat pieces, IU see nothing wrong with using pallet wood. I wouldn't use Oak though. Most car builders stayed away from Oak or used it sparingly. Even today, Morgan still uses Ash. Henry Laminated some pieces, so I assume this is acceptable.
