Much time was wasted this morning looking for the "perfect" wood for this compression post under the mast. Richard refers to it as the "kingpost" which is a term not much used on this side of the pond. I was offered some reclaimed long leaf pine by a building owner, but the foreman decided he'd rather keep it for himself. I ended up slicing up a 10' 2 by 10 of tight grained yellow pine to get these pieces. It should do the job fine.
