By the way, what are you planning to build?

Actually getting to see retirement in the not too distant future. Friend and I were kicking around the possibility of developing some strip kits - or just milled wood strips. He is into canoes, and I am more of a sailboat guy - but have admired kayaks. I have a set of plans drawn up for a strip pickup bed cover, and when I started looking at costs for good clear wood, it was surprising. Thought that if we purchased enough for "our" needs, the sell off of our excess milled strips could help pay our way. Around here, I see basswood and aspen strippers, with some color thrown in for "fun". Just was wondering what a load pre-milled would run versus doing our own (tools already on hand). Looks like we will probably run our own millwork, with potential sales to those scratch building.

Thanks for the lines for supplies. Was aware of the Boat House. Will have to take a drive up to White Bear and talk with the other company.

Cheers
