John, I don't know if you plan to use fir, but if you do and you are going to epoxy over it, you'll need to use cloth (4 oz. or 6 oz.) as well if you want to insure that there will be no checking. Fir tends to check sometimes, and then all that hard work is ruined and ya need to repaint. Just go with Meranti or Okoume if you can. Small parts can always be done with Starboard type products as well.
