Sup Supplies

Today we drove up to Illinois to visit our friend John L.  He has a load of dried wood for sale and we need a lot for making SUP decks.
The goal this week is to rip the wood and build 10 decks.
We have that many Sea State hulls ready to go.
We already have enough Cedar , Cherry and Walnut for the accent strips.  Today we bought 10 foot lengths of Tulip Poplar.
It is a nice light blond color and light in weight too.
The planks are roughly 1.5 inches thick by 9 inches wide.

We ended up with 14 boards and this will yield enough strips for approximately 12 SUP decks.

It was fun to get back up to Elsah.  It is flooding again.  The water is right up to the edge of The Great River Road but so far it is still passable.
