for the price they charge for clear cedar boards. it was nice to get 67 rat boards(3 sizes, nafa specs) some weasel and marten boards swell.

Nice, did cut those out at the trapline? You have better access to get in now?

I have't been out to the line since spring, been watch the forest fires reports. Some were fairly close.

Looks good Brag! I scrounged up some laminated wood from an old wooden desk that I had taken apart to make boards for myself. It was the right thickness and it worked out well. My only concern is that it might be a little hard sticking the pins in because the wood is harder but it shouldn't be a show stopper. I'm always on the look out for scrap material to put to use.

is that a home made mill with your chain saw or something you bought?

I use those plastic signs from election time. I trace them out from the boards I bought from Trapper Gord. I find pelts dry faster due to corrugation of the material, and are very light weight and easy to store. Any blood or grease wipes right off. I use these just for rats only.
