I cut out the center section of a 18mm casting seat and replaced it with a segmented checker seat. The seat is made of Walnut, Paudauk, and Maple.

Thanks Guys, Dave I'm thinking of forming a chapter of the checkers anonymous in Wisconsin. I'm still working on the 12 step program LOL. BTW I should have mentioned that it was a Batson reel seat that I cut up. Mark
