Orders for spars, Spruce kits and capstrip can usually be shipped within three weeks after receipt of order. Spars wider than 6" must be milled from 8" specially selected stock which requires a long and indefinite lead time. Prices on request.

Spruce and tubing kits may be combined with plywood and other building supplies for a single truck delivery charge.

Metric Ordering Information
Spruce can be cut to metric sizes upon request only as special order, non cancelable and non refundable.
Using our current part numbers please select one size greater than desired and at check out in "Special Instructions" advise exact metric dimensions needed.

General Ordering Information
Aircraft spruce spars are available either S2S (surfaced 2 sides, top & bottom, with rough edges in 4" & 6" nominal width) or S4S (surfaced all 4 sides to thickness & width). Prices in table below are for S4S spars. If S2S is desired so builder can trim to exact width, specify S2S and use 4" or 6" width prices from table. Request quote on spar widths wider than 6". Spars for certificated aircraft such as Aeronca, Stearman, Taylorcraft and Piper are available and may be priced from the table. Since many of these early aircraft were “handmade”, the spars are often not uniform in size for a particular model. Therefore, the finished net dimensions should be specified when ordering replacement spars. Please price to nearest fraction.

When ordering either spars or capstrip, designate the thickness first, then the width and length.
Examples: 3/4"T x 4 1/4"W x 14’L spar; 1/4"T x 1/2"W x 5’L capstrip

For additional technical information refer to a complete reprint of spruce specification MIL-S 6073 and plywood specification MIL-P-6070. See Documents.

Faster Delivery can be assured if guidelines regarding minimum acceptable lengths are provided. Orders are often delayed awaiting delivery of lumber to the even footage specified whereas shipment could be made if the minimum usable lengths were indicated. Example: 3/4" nominal 6" x 12' (131-1/2" min.)

Please order by part number and also state exact thickness and width. Begin part number with “02”, then thickness & width. Example: 1/4"T x 3/8"W is P/N 02-1438.

Exactly as described and quick shipping. Thanks!

These capstrips get a 5 star rating from me because of the state and quality of the wood itself. I am reviewing the 1/4 x 1/4 capstrip but I have also gotten the 3/4 x 3/4 capstrip in some nice sized bundles and the wood itself is flawless aircraft grade sitka spruce.

Good material good delivery

by Chris`wright

Very good product, excellent customer service. Always get a response to concerns.

by James G

07/07/2017

It doesnt matter what size you order - the wood will be flawless, without exception. I could spend hours trying to find even one piece of wood this perfect. And the wood is perfect in all ways, not just free of flaws but it is also dimensionally perfect. The people at Aircraft Spruce will not compromise quality, and that is a huge reassurance when you are up in the air. I dont use questionable parts in my aircraft and I have 100% confidence in the quality of this wood. It is worth it.

Lights and strong wood. Great service.

by Mark

for a company with spruce in its name, I have to say ordering wood is not a smooth process. first the size quoted is not exact. I know they say nominal but a better job needs to be done on informing what you receive, and what you are looked at to size yourself. second, for even a very small order, it takes nearly four weeks to receive it. better plan way ahead for your project.

by Stephen K

I have come to expect perfection, and this shipment was just that! Exactly (again) as ordered.
Additionally, I had to get Customer Service involved, as I had mis-ordered - user error. Your Customer Service people are as high quality as your products! Exceptional!

Clean cuts worked out perfect

by Chris W

Hard to get perfect pieces on the smaller cuts but Aircraft Spruce goes above and beyond to get it right.
Nice, tight grain, consistent pricing. Overall good quality products. Excellent customer service

Product as stated, well cut only had a few that were a bit twisted but was no problem to correct. Will be buying more.

by Chris W

Quality product as always. Only four stars due to shipping time. Realize I place relatively small orders but still takes awhile. Generally worth the wait!!!
Claudia is the best, always good communications.

Delivery was delayed several times but the spruce arrived eventually and it is beautiful - top quality.

Milled to close tolerance, packed securely and arrived safe and sound.

by Scott E

08/26/2019

Several of these are not usable. The grain is not good and they will break when bent just a little

by Jeffrey K

09/18/2019

I received this wood as a replacement for wood that was damaged (I presume in transit). The replacement wood is good quality though I note one side has two areas of impact damage clearly not from transit as the box was in very good condition. This area will be cut away when milling the parts so I can use the wood. There are quite a few rules behind aircraft grade lumber and I would prefer Aircraft Spruce (AS) be more careful in their milling and handling of the wood. I give AS high points for quickly replacing the damaged wood.

by Eric N

09/23/2019

Appreciated how well the product was packaged for shipping to prevent any damage. Great product and it arrived in pristine condition (not always the case with other vendors whose product I oftentimes receive crushed because no care or forethought was put into how to best protect it from rough handling). Was also pleasantly surprised that my order arrived far quicker than projected.

finished a little rough

by Christopher M

02/15/2020

Great product, I use it for construction of my larger scale RC aircraft where wood is required, its sized exactly and itâ€™s extremely clean. Only drawback for me is slow shipping., if the product is listed in stock it takes about 10 days to receive it .

by David B

02/15/2020

Dang. The quality and Percision of Spruce is absolutely amazing. Tolerance is spot on. Grain is consistent and very linear. Thank you Aircraft Spruce artisans.

Have been purchasing these strips for quite a few years now. Projects require perfect material. Charles in lumber out did himself this time. Virtually every stick was good! From Claudia in service to the picker and shipper excellent transaction as always.

Cap strips were perfect in condition and packaging. No surprise there. Wish I was closer to the Facikity.love My Aircraft spruce.

got here promptly.

by Chris M

05/29/2020

I use these in building 1/4 and 1/3 scale RCI aircraft to prevent splicing wing spars etc. and where structural strength is required, the lengths are adjustable in purchase so there never short, the cut sizing is always perfect. SUPER PRODUCT

by W. H

05/31/2020

I realise that it is difficult to machine wood to precise dimensions but I was disappointed to find that the cap strips provided were oversize by as much as 1/32 in the cross section dimensions.
The net result was that the sub assemblies I made with the strips would not mate with the final assembly of the finished item. A friend with a planer and a table saw was able to run off more accurate replacement items (not ideal when we are supposed to be social distancing).

by W. H

05/31/2020

See comments re 3/8 x 1/4 cap strips.
Same problems encountered here.
Wood quality was good for both items but dimensional problems made them unfit for purpose.

by James G

07/07/2020

Light, straight, and straight grained.

by Jim G

09/23/2020

Material received was straight, accurate and with good grain.

by Rit

Product is excellent. Time to prepare and ship is poor service.

Do you stock long lengths of capstrip?
We mill it as necessary from lengths of 20+ feet. For complete stock information, please call 877-477-7823 during usual business hours or email us by clicking here.

I'm ordering 400ft of capstrip. If I have it delivered, how long will each section be?
You will need to provide the cutting instructions upon checking out. For practicality and shipping purposes, we recommend cutting down to sections under 5 ft. UPS Ground will take sections up to 8 ft, but at that length shipping charges are more due to dimensional weight. Sections over 8 ft will need to ship via Truck and shipping charges will be significantly higher.
