Just one sugestion, use butted spokes, 14/15/14 are easier to weave, and still plenty strong. Only add a few bucks to the project and a nice costum touch of relability.
Last wheel I did was with DT Swiss 13/15/14, called Alpine III, ya gotta ream a little outa the spoke holes usually tho. For these it was 50 cents or so extra for the whole wheel.
