where can I find the dimensions for making my own bed boards for my 54 3100. I will be ordering strips from Mar-k soon. I have some cherrywood boards that are real nice sitting in the barn. Thanks

Deve Krehbiel's site

The cherry will look good. It may blotch when finished and will not hold up against the elements. It will darken and mellow as it ages.

Deve's site describes width and thickness of each board and has dimentions of the sections that must be routed out. Router or dado blade. You can determine the length by measuring the bed or by measuring an existing board if you have one.
