Hi all,
I have a question about wooden mast. I buy timber in dimensions 50*80mm, in blueprints is mast made by two timber glued thogheter. My question is, do I need made mast from two parts or I can made it from one timber in dimensions 50*50?
Thank you

Also laminated masts are usually considered to be more resistant to warping. The grains can oppose each other.

This has been on here for a while with no responses, so here you go... If you can get one timber of the size that is needed in mast quality (minimal knots), then I don't see any reason why not. I think the reason most of the mast timbers are glued is that is it is easier to get higher quality in smaller sections that larger sections.
