Hi Ed, Thanks for your input. The MDO looks good so far. All cut, shaped and ready for epoxy today. Both the A/B Marine and the MDO are made by Roseburg, Oregon. I've used their products before without a problem - I hope my expectations are not misplaced. I was turned on to MDO by a...

I had a taste of Birch syrup as well as Birch wine when I was in Newfoundland the first time. Iighter in color and flavor than maple syrup but still tasty. While maple syrup is 40-50:1, it takes 100 gallons of birch sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup.

Loads of fun for sure Dani - thanks. I'm surprised there were so many bird's left over, that's a lot of great eating. I've never had a failure with any of Hank's recipes, probably because his flavor profiles are right up my alley.

I would say "try it with a couple", you never know, it could be your next taste sensation. Personally, I have a much better recipe for GE than corning. My all time favorite game meat for corning is midwest black bear - excellent 👍

I've corned bear, deer, elk, moose and one Canada Goose but no ducks. Of the lot the goose was my least favorite, just way too lean. If I ever did goose again I'd corn it then smoke/dry it and slice really thin like dried beef. I suspect duck might be pretty similar.

Price is similar to doug fir AB Marine. Both are made by the same company - Roseburg. MDO was designed for exterior sign applications. MDO is the only plywood one Wisconsin boat restorer uses for replacement transoms - prior to his recommendation MDO wasn't in my knowledge base.

Thanks.

It appears to be readily available in Wisconsin. Menards big box home center here had 7 sheets of 3/4" MDO.

Thanks Steve, did you need to do any prep on the smooth surface prior to epoxy?

It looks really good for a transom application.

I'm replacing the transom wood in a 1995 Lund. Doubled up MDO has been recommended but I've not used that material before. Plan is to incase in epoxy. Any downsides I should be aware of?

Looks like a fun time Dani, glad you got out.

Nice job Neal.

Neal, If you don't want to go to the expense of a BS 1088 plywood, look into a domestic Doug Fir marine plywood such as is manufactured by Roseburg. I think they're in Oregon but sell all over. I've usd it in several boat applications and so far, so good.

Steve, the formula I posted is for calculated recoil and is a starting point. What we, as shooters, care about is "perceived recoil" and I think that can have many more parameters as you allude to. Action is certainly one component that soaks up recoil as well as late season clothing, and as...

Neal, maybe you remember my Poleboat repair from a number of years ago. I opted to go the scarfing route and it has held up great. http://www.duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=199690;do=post_view;search_string=Poleboat#p199690

Interested in the responses Eric. I've got both Wiley and some 20 year old MLB black cork that looks good and have a buyer for.

Done

Hahaha
