I think left side is original and right was reinforced later. What is your opinion?

Rood reinforcements
Hi Janek
You have discovered the weakness of the cab 11 design. when you make new wood structure plan for some steel sheet metal reinforcements in that corner joint..... if you reinforce from behind when building it almost all can be hidden by using steel plates behind the roof boards. I beleive Alex did some fancy trick when he redid his C8...... I hope you are taking thousands of digital photos during the dis-assembly you will find them useful when you are putting back together again. Cheers

Jacek,
The wood I used was picked from scraps around my shop, and the type of wood is unknown to me. I remember the reason for not buying all new wood for the roof was that the dimensions of the original wood were not available at my local lumber yard...... Thanks, David

In a place like that where you need the strength, oak would be the only way to go.
