The photo probably does it justice, looks just like mine does now which has held up all these years, like 40 something, mostly bottom boards are the worst, but are ship lap with inserts, saw an old sales brochure for them, always wondered who got the job of doing all that pinstriping 2 long slashes crossed by 2 short ones, like 800 of em on each body !
Wood is not all that hard to work with after a little trial and error, years ago I worked in old lumber yard, in the mill they had one of those old industrial type planers, 5 minutes near it would make you deaf, but the old timer there could cut a blade for it and match any profile you brought him, exactly like what you gave him. The wall behind the planer was loaded with every knife he ever cut for it, hundreds of them. Some of the stock he ran through that machine, fancy trim to ponderosa pine rail and or similar to log home profiles, boy I hated the job then and the real low pay driving truck, but on those slow days when there were no deliveries, at least they paid us for the day. Most of the others would disappear in the back, smokin wheat, drinking, and goofin off, they had some real winners at this place. I'd be in that mill learning anything I could, and or the glazing shop helping another old timer glaze wood windows made in the mill.
One of the guys asked if I knew where to get some old sumac, thinking what in the heck would anyone want with that, so I went to our place, got some from an overgrown field, painted the ends, he let it dry properly and made some really nice fiddles out of it ! He even played a few notes for the guys in the shop when they were done, never forgot about that, always something to learn somewhere.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
