So I decided i wanted to build skis and I remembered seeing the website skibuilders.com a couple years ago. It had a chart listing the density and stiffness of lots of different wood. Nobody would happen to have this chart would they? If you have experience you could save the run around and let me know what's the best wood for making a light poppy ski.

It's not the chart you were asking about but the junksupply ski design simulator is a pretty good starting point for picking materials going into skis: http://www.junksupply.com/guide-to-the-simulator/

We started building our own and still do build our own prototypes so if you have any questions, shoot us a DM.
