Ok, first off...when to Lowes today, shopping for some thin Project/Kraft Boards.....Poplar? My fingers looked straighter than their Poplar boards. 1/2" x 6" Clear Pine? None in the rack....which left the Red Oak....there were 4 planks in the rack...1/2" x 6" x 48"...Looked those over....kept three..the 4th one would have made a decent Long Bow....

Letting these sit a day...Price? $22 and change per board...even with my Military 10% discount..still an OUCH! Someone else can do the math...1/2" x 6" x 12' seems to be around..3 bft?


Anyway, was looking around for something to use these boards on....Happen to be watching Paul Sellers Master Class ...Keepsake Box Project....had a few ideas I just might steal, and use...

Might just have enough of this "Gold-Plated Red Oak" to make such a box, maybe....will take the 3 boards to the shop tomorrow, and see what happens..

Stay tuned....
