....and of course you would have the nicer feeling of having done it yourself---as opposed to forking over a large pile of euros for a kit.

Perhaps some fellow down the black has a Zebrano tree in his front yard... do you have a chain saw?

I once bought a single piece of 2x6" Honduran Mahogany about 3 feet long. I ripped it into 1/4" x 2" strips with a band saw (against a fence) and then power-planed them smooth. I had enough material there to do all sorts of neat projects on my boat---using an epoxy glue to hold them down. All still holding together after 10 years---much of them in direct sunlight and weather.
