In Response To: Paddle: Question about Spruce (Bert)

I have the same problem with spruce... Too hard to gat and too expensive.

For a hollow loom you can get the same thing with two strips, pinched together at thier ends and blocked open in thier middle. Cap that all off with two wide strips, and you have a hollow loom... I can send you a picture tonight if you like.
