Do you remember what wood you used? I.e., pine vs Douglas Fir? I know we used to get timbers south of Chama, but since 2016, we've used Douglas Fir from the Amish in Antonito.
I only remembered it because someone absconded with the side rails, and we had to hunt them down later.
Ah. Listed in "Rider Gon".
