Just need a few pieces of scrap wood. Most any wood will get you by until you can save up for some commercially made stretchers. ~ADC~ www.iowatrapperstalk.com

I lay out the measurements, draw my lines, cut it with a jig saw or circular saw, and then sand the edges with my Mouse sander. They come out good enough for this amateur. I'm not seeking a Top Lot spot just yet so as long as I can keep the measurements within a +or- 1/4" I should be fine, at least that's what I've been told. You can't cheat the mountain pilgrim. Mountain's got its own ways.
