[SEL] Oak wood for carts

[Curt]

Thanks to all who replied and offered to help with the oak for the cart. 
Richard Fink had some oak cut for fire place mantels years ago and they 
look like they will work for this cart. Ya'll on this list are a great 
bunch of guys who are very willing to help.
Thanks,
