I actually got started on the spar urethane coating this afternoon. I set up some plastic saw horses in the dining room and brought in half on the boards so I could get going on them. Of course I had to clear it with the wife first. She usually lets me get away with stuff like this and this time was no different. What a gal.

I got the back side and all edges coated today and tomorrow will start on the first coat for the face of the boards. Going to do a light sanding between coats.

I will post pics after I get it all done and installed in the bed.

Gazim, the shipping would probably be pretty high. I made a mistake last week when I ordered a front bumper for my truck. Didn't realize it until the bumper arrived but I had entered the number for a GMC Jimmy instead of a chevy truck. Dang return shipping was $40.00. Original shipping was half that. UPS said the vendor gets cut rates because of the volume of business they do compared to an individual. The shipping cost is based on wieght and the width, height and length of the package being shipped. Based on shipping cost for the bumper, I am sure that to ship cypress would be astronomical.
