making new mast

[signs]

I PLAN ON MAKING A NEW MAST THIS WINTER FOR MY 18 SKIFF, AND HAVE ON HAND SOME CLEAR DOUGLASS FIR. I KNOW THAT SITKA SPRUCE IS IDEAL BUT WOULD THIS MAKE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE?

why are yelling? Doug fir is a little heavy, how big is the mast? What size boat? Will it be hollow or solid? Answer quietly.
