I happen to have in dry storage, 12 pieces of 3 inch thick, 24 inch
wide, mostly clear pine which would be perfect for that project.

You'd have to resaw the planks, but they would be perfect.

I'll let you have them cheap.
A bit of overkill there. 3" thick? Sheesh.
Hey - find a mill and have them resawed.

Uh, this "deck" is a bit of cover for the anchor rode at the bow. It's
about 18" long, and maybe 18" wide at its widest point. It's shaped like
a triangle and is two pieces of maybe 1/2" pine support by a little bit of
frame. It looks original to the boat, which is at least 50 years old, and
has been living in a shed for a long, long time. The planks in the hull
are in pretty good shape, no rot, no cracks. I'm just messing around with
it at the moment.

So, buy one board from Short Wave, cut off a 2 foot section, break out your
pen knife and whittle it into shape. Plus, you'd have enough wood left over
for 5 more spare decks.

Simple.

I didn't get this far into my dotage by doing things the "Shortwave Way."

Oh well, time to go to work. I was hoping charlie would have backed up
his trolling with a solution by now, just another loud mouth a**hole I
guess. Night folks, fight nice.

We try not to call a lot of names here. Well, some of us try. Some just
can't help themselves.
