Yes, new pup. She is not a mutt. She is a designer dog. Belgian Malinois and German Shepard mix.

Hi Brian,
Yes it all makes sense. The double stretcher setup adds to the cost but simplifies construction. The short stretcher was the subject of my comment. If it falls out you can always use the dowels!

I am lucky, my cost for Poplar is 14 cents a foot plus a little fuel and work. I have a lot of 5 quarter but not much 8 quarter already dried. I need to cut some more and have it sawed. I just cut what goes bad and I observed a bad Poplar and several bad Ash the other day when walking the puppy. The darn beaver like to eat the bark off the good trees and leave the junk trees alone. I better stop, I am rambling.

I have a friend with a dog of the same blend. It's a great dog.

I figured the top at 350 so I would guess 600. I want to weigh it to find out.
Love your signature.
