Found some 1.3/4 x 28" sq strips of OAK, might have been ballister. my guess, cut to 7" sanded, dipped in the MINIWAX woodsealer, hung dry in a couple of hr's re-sanded an primed an painted, sealed,did them in a DEAD , or DYING, CRIPPLED, Fish style, they will hit the water Friday, going to fish thoes 2 all day, to see how they hold up. w, the new woodsealer now that my val-oil is gone.

Very nice. That stuff dried that quickly, huh? Did you cut it with any solvents or just used as-is?

MINIWAX woodsealer Let me know if the paint falls off. I have never had any luck with that stuff.
