Redwood for framing

[gobbypunk]

Hi guys I have an old airport trolley and plan to build a childs size wagon on it but I want to extend the floor plan Oak would be cool but I have some big ish Redwood sawlogs that are in my way do you think something like 6x2 frame sat on the metal trolley then build my stud walls ,will the Redwood be strong enough not having used it much I am not sure thats why I ask.

  Thanks. Mark

How much of a step-up from the trolley chassis to your frame (in areal extent) will there be, and what will the maximum unsupported span be?  I would have thought that 6x2s would be more than adequate - I used similar to span a 4.5m wide garage to create a loft floor for storage and that is still there!
