| There are tons of web sites out there that have the dimensions of the boards. That's how my father in law and I made ours. Got the blue prints off line and made them at home. It was not hard at all as long as you have some saws or wood working tools. |

I saw a set of boards that some Carolina fans made. They had a rooster on the board with the hole for the board as the rooster's... well you get the picture. Pretty funny boards and they were all hand painted too. Some one had some time and effort in these boards. |

| I used to make and sell a lot of boards. Don't have the space to make them anymore though. Its not too difficult though. If you're going to make your own, do yourself a favor and do it right by using 1/2" birch plywood. Also, be sure to put at least four coats of polycyclic on them before playing. It makes all the difference in the world in the way the boards look and play so much better. I like six coats on mine, lightly sanding after the fourth coat. This is what will give the board a shiny professional looking finish. |

| Last year the threads of Vol fans selling them ran rampant up in here.

| Here are mine I made from plans I found online. They weren't hard to make at all and their far more solid than any you will buy at a store. I drilled two holes in the side of mine and made handles with round stock and rope because their so heavy. |
