That sounds quite reasonable ! Was that just the one piece of sawn? I guess you used it for rails, What glue did you use?I was thinking of  using Extramite.Should make for a virtual invisible glue line.

very reasonable! seen as seabase charge £35 for one 10' x 3/8 stringer!!

i cut it for stringers in longboards

i wanted to buy everything in there :o)

I've been looking for some Paulownia for months on the internet with not much luck. Any idea of the address or number?How many Woodies have you built? and by what method? Was it a Jensenish design or something similar?
