    NJ to outlaw floating blinds?!?!

    Anyone else hear this rumor? Division of fish and wildlife proposed a law to outlaw floating blinds. This means boat blinds, sneakboxes, etc. Has anyone else heard this? If it is true, it is absurd.

    Thanks For the kind words Chad. I'm happy how it turned out. I tried to make something I wouldn't mind getting paint on but still fit in with our decor in the house. Now I don't want to get anything on it! Oh well, paint splatters and drops will only add to the character and story of the bench.

    how best to store cedar for decoys

    The longer you leave them, the better they will be against checking and warping. Coat the ends with anchorseal and sticker them when you stack. Too much cedar is a good problem to have.

    SUZUKI 4 STROKE feedback

    Yes it is a rope start. It believe it has some sort of easy start system. It is pretty easy to pull. Very rarely, it feels like it sticks but I just pull it again and it starts.
