Hi all.,

I bought Nick Schades book to get the pattern for the adjustable foot brace which I want to put in my CH17. Just how hard has the wood for the rail have to be? For example, will douglas fir be okay?

Will the foot brace stand up to occassional surf (as I live in Oz, there is a lot of surf) as per the plan, or will I have to beef up parts of the foot brace.

For any direct emails, remove the no spam from the address above.

Thanking you,

John
