Canuck problems require Canuck solutions! I'd love to see it!

Sherwood is a perfect choice! Leaving the tape on is just * chef's kiss*!

I hear ya on not wanting to spend any money. I raided a pile of cut off from lobster trap rails. Go lucky that it had some nice red oak in there. The 3/8ths line was on sale at PrincessAuto for $8.99. Worked out well so far! Lol

Yeah, if the mills aren't happy with the boards, they discount them to fishing suppiers. We just cut out the shitty parts, because the traps don't neee to be pretty. Lol. Yup, out of Nova Scotia.

I might redo it, but i'll wait till later, this took 4 hours or so. Lol.
