It was issue #149 and they sell back issues for $5.50 plus shipping.
: WB did a story on the birds' mouth technique for building spars several
: months ago (can't remember the exact issue). The technique itself is old,
: and can be used for a large range of spar sizes. There was a formula given
: in the article for figuring the proper sized pieces for the particular
: size that you desire. There is also always an ad in the back of Classic
: Boat (UK pub), for an outfit that builds bird's mouth spars. I think that
: Shawn's idea to use this for a paddle shaft is a good one!
