Thanks for your input. Getting old is a fatal mistake Always looking for reloading componets I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two

Eurothane it 4 or 5 times and air it out all summer and it will hold up through mud and snow. As with all wooden baskets ya got to treat it with respect or it's kinlin!
