1. Why do you start with a block instead of using a dowel?
Both are used. Sometimes depends on how we can get the material. With square blocks, it can be easier to leave the square ends on the blank while you cut lip slots, weight holes, swivels holes, etc.

Where do you buy airbrushes to paint with and what type of paints are used so that they aren't affected by salt water.
dixieart.com and bearair.com are two places to get airbrushes and paint. Local craft or hobby stores would be another. A number of us use createx paints. You seal then prime the wood prior to painting, then use a clear coat (like epoxy) after painting to help protect the paint.

I did see that some use krylon, is that the spray paint sold at Walmart Krylon?
Yep, thats the stuff. Rustoleum also makes a good spray paint that some people use too.
