I know that German Shu mines were made out of Beech wood, just wondering if the other mines such as the Schutzemine 400grm, Panzerschnellmine A&B, Holzmine 42 etc were made of other wood types such as pine or plywood.
 
I know that some of them were made with pressed wood chips. On a other note I've built all three types! :tinysmile_hmm_t:
