Joined: December 2009 Posts: 143 Location: Ontario Canada | Hello TJ, Congratulatioins on a good eye for a bargain. I have some brand new beautiful cedar shingles that I have been looking at for years. They are 24"x9" clear after I trim the burrs off them. They would make a beautiful tone after I strut them with about seven or perhaps nine fingers inside. A nice summer project, now that the winter temperatures are slowly leaving the Great Lakes. Regards Jim | ||

Jimbob, I returned your email. I'll let you know after I hear back from John. | ||
