Ive done a few at 19" dUg , but this board was put aside a few years back , and pulled down from the rafters recently.......it probably has a tad more volume under the chest than a wider board to compensate....it's also got more area through the tail , and less up front....

Hey Kayu mate - Is that a really big wing way up there? She'd be a loose goose for some whippersnapper.

I love wood. :)

When I come visit someday, i'll whip you into order to get those projects done!

Oh yes, I do! I recently got the boot from my cavernous great old farm shed, and I've had move to a set-up with a fraction of the space - Loads of little things I had room for were suddenly not so precious.

I went back once, to see what the landlady had done with my junk - she'd had to pay crew to pile it up, a stack as high as me and like 50m circumference! I'm just happy I cost the bee-hatch something!

Anyway, as you were...

The most definately would have been, my being a wood-loving wood lover...

Alas that distance away is too much. But ta.

Fong I know a guy who is keen. Got his own truck and gear.
When do they need to be picked up? He has to drive a fair way.
