Have you tried Steve Rankin ? He's a Mainer and a good guy to deal with. I'm not sure if he has a website but if you need help getting a phone number I can get you it.

Make them. FHAs website has all the measurements. Very simple with basic tools.

X2 for Steve Rankin. They'll have any wood stretcher you want.

Forming boards are no problem to make yourself.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I do mine on a grey fox board. It might not be the correct way but I got a Top Lot on a Fisher at Auction doing it that way.

Up here (I'm about 40 miles south of Fort Kent) they say what's a gray fox?

Didn't Jerry Lebeau sell his stretcher business to Steve?
