The spruce was long but it was quarter sawn. To get it to "lay flat" within limits, meant having to cut narrower width pieces to length and then glue them side by wide to make up the 2.25 inch width of the spar blank. Then "brick" them so that the joins werent on top of each other and the grain all oriented the same way - up in the middle down at the sides. Once glued together it will have enormous strength.
