Next time ... trim out the heavy seam from one leg and use it to line the carry sack.
Square off the other leg similarly and use it as a flap to cover the oven while in the sack.

repurposed this ........

into this.....

Buddy has a wood miser saw mill and slabbed off this little sliver of rock maple and brought it in to show me how thin his sawmill would cut. I cabbaged onto it and it has spent a couple months in a corner in my office. Dried nice and no cracks or splits so I got bored this week and look what happened. Some sanding and a liberal coating of vegatable oil and they will be ready to use . :lol: :lol:
