The boards came from my late fathers saw mill in N. Wis. where I grew up .The same place where the truck came from when purchased from my Grand Father for $50.00 in '68 .

I was feeling left out, so here's mine.
Started with rough hewn white oak. Planed, rabbetted, 11 coats of spar varnish, sanded with mineral oil between each with successively finer grits.
