Default Talk with Grant....

He made is ring from laminated BC Fir......very strong and looks the part.

BC Fir came from my barn has the previous owner, who procured the wood from a surplus govt contract, had lined the horse stalls with 8 foot planks...... 8 inches wide..... Knot free. When I removed the stalls for a working area I salvaged the planks.....and have some left.....hint hint.


Cheers

Well the project took a huge leap forward this past week. This is an original FFW Wire3 box model 2J4. The top bows are solid and the box floor/frame is solid. It has the mounting holes for the wireless table and seats. I couldn't be happier. a big thankyou to a fellow MLU'er who put me onto this and helped in its recovery.

Not much to report. I pulled my canvas roof out of the deep storage corner of my shop and tried it out on the wire-3 box. It fit perfectly.
