don't have a board at the moment of any kind. will have to look at Lowes the next time I am in the big city. normally all I can find is red oak. this may be a challenge for sure because it is time for some serious fishing to begin.

Another challenge like Jerry said finding a board.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
