Was wundering about using cedar shingles to make them? I made a half dozen today with the boys and can't see why they wont be fine? A little bit slim at the nose but at least I will be able to et a push pin into them . Asked a buddy who works in the hardware store and they can't even get bass wood in. I am not sure that he beleives me there is such a thing. Cedar is just about as rare they call it "Golden Board" for anything that is half good. Just looking for some feed back and what other guys use for weasels?

I found a place down south that makes ceader fence panels, you can but thier skrap for cheep, lots of people buy it for kindlen and fire wood. I just run it threw the planer till it is as thick as I want then cut out and sand. I have made some from pine to and they worked.

Any kind of soft wood is good for making weasel boards.

Wow. thanks for the offer White 316! Maklin is only 30 minutes away. But I was still wondering if the taper to my shingle boards is going to cause trouble at the grading table? If I had a access to a planer it would solve all my forming board dilema's . The only one that I know of is at the High school. I guess I will see what everyones response is before I take you up on your offer.
