[alberg30] Need help with spreaders

David (Swanson), 

I visited one rigger in Annapolis (Annapolis Rigging I think) seven years ago 
who wanted $250 to make up a pair. I dearly wish I could tell you for certain 
that that's who it was. 

I was too fund-depleted at the time, so I band-sawed the really terrible 
looking (Douglas fir - I'm certain of it) original spreaders on Terrapin 
(#254, 1967) in half to get a good profile, then traced and cut new ones out 
of really clear white oak that a friend had around. 

The original spreaders were perfectly sound inside. But of course, I had band 
sawed them in half by that time...  Sigh.

Let me know who makes them for you. I'll need a source, too. I'm tired of 
climbing to paint the wood ones (or worse yet, looking up at ones that need 
painting)!

Kevin Blanc
Terrapin, #254
