Does anyone know where to buy otter boards that are 8 inches wide and 6 feet long.

I traced out boards from an old board years ago, freehanded with the table saw and roughed them out with a power hand planer. And sanded to finish. First one was with a hand plane the day I needed it…

I made my own from 3/4"x8" and 3/4"x10". Ripped the 3/4"x10", (actually was only 9-1/4"), pine from our local lumber store. Ran a router around the edges and a quick session with a palm sander. I also free-handed the pattern using the FHA design for the desired taper. I made one wide board 7' long for the jumbo otter we had in southeast Alaska, and that one got the most use.

Made my own also. I prefer cedar to pine, much softer as it ages to put pins in. But my otter boards are pine because that is what I had on hand. If you have a router it is really nice to do the edges with, but you can round them with a sander if you don't have a router and they will work fine. I've done it both ways, depending on what tools I had on hand.

Scott Webb out of Iowa makes what he calls 3 n 1 boards that are 6ft. I mainly use them for coyotes and my 1 ottee for the year.

Looks like a lot of companies have them available.

Northern sport Co

They are great boards, but unfortunately, Scott passed away a couple of years ago.

An 8" board doesn't meet FHA specs...

I caught many otter in Alaska that I could have easily used 10" wide boards and still needed 2 belly wedges. Heck, I even used shovel handles.

He's asking a for a 6' board. FHA spec is 9" at 66"

I just made the boards fit the otter my area produces…..

This FHA size is perfect for my otter.

odd..this is from the manual

Well after striking out on what i'm looking for being made by the industry I went into town today and bought a 2 by 10 6 feet long to make an otter board the way I want it. Bad part is that was the only board they had so I will check next trip in.

I had my neighbor make me some otter boards out of cypress using the FHA measurements. I get compliments on my pelts as the boards are perfect. I catch some huge male otters and the boards fit them perfectly.

I have hundreds of Basswood boards made to NAFA specs, including Otter in two sizes. Problem is the freight will likely exceed the price of the boards.
