Ripping
A friend's table saw and good-sized workshop made "easy" work of ripping a 2"x10"x16' spruce board into the required stringer sizes. We also ripped a smaller ash board for the ribs.
I was lucky to locate the air-dried ash at a local one-man milling operation. He found it in a pile of old weathered boards - asked me if I was building a boat. He said boatbuilders were the only folks asking for ash.
