The wood is from Oregon, cut from a yew log in the 40's...stuck in the rafters until I got it in 98'...it stayed in wood pile until last December. Bamboo will back the slats.

I am located in Wasilla, Alaska...not to far from Palmer.  About an hour north of Anchorage.

Here is the next step... I am shooting for mid 50's @ 28"
