Flotsam

SWIMPAL and I took the mutts down to Nukie Beach (San O Trail 1) for a walk the other day and I found this hunk of ply.
At first I thought it was glassed on the faces but after closer examination I realized it was an old hunk of high quality MDO.
It had obviously been bouncing around the Pacific for some time.
MDO has been used by PNW boatbuilders for decades and this stuff was actually textured on one side so was probably decking.
It looks promising and feels surfy.......
A couple minutes with a saw to trim the rough edges, a little sanding and a couple coats of oil finish and I present to you
FLOTSAM
100% Green
Suit Case Sized Paipo
What better use?
It even has a tiny bit of rocker warped into it.
