Thanks. I just picked up some NOS fiberglass seat bottoms this weekend for a good deal. Tjats saved a ton of time refurbishing. I think i contacted Stephan Wood products back in 2013 and they wanted $43 per board. Im sure its more $ now. I know a guy who has oak boards, $20 each.

Thanks guys, It didn’t seem like a tough job, just long and tedious PITA. Thanks for the info bout planing to spec, I was hoping it would be easy to purchase correct thickness off shelf. I do know somebody who does custom millwork, I may contact them. IdeLly I’m looking for a set of used...
