And if John's turning corn......his horseys will eat the shavings too! And he can use the equine fertilizer to grow the corn.......Isn't recycling fun?

Guys I saw one before and tried it. This is my secaond one as the first sold quickly. I take the corn off and soak it in dna, let it dry then cut it to size and soak over night in minwax wood hardener. Then do as I would wood. the designers turn out good, but I tried a slim line and it blew apart. But not much material on the slimline. But hey corn's cheap.
