Description I made these over three lunchbreaks, including painting. Each dock section uses 13 craft sticks, such as you might find at Michael's. Paint was DecoArt oak Gell Stain. Total time invested - about two hours for them all.

Heck, I'll even try to give you ASCII plans.

You need 13 craft sticks: |||||||||||||

Glue three of them together side to side: ||| Wrap it well. These are your posts.

Cut your post into quarters.

Lay eight sticks flat, side by side: ||||||||

Take two sticks (||) and cut them each into two peices equal to the width of the eight sticks plus two of the posts.

Glue these two sticks to either side of the posts as such:
________
[]_____[]

Glue the top eight sticks to the crossbeams.

Paint.

Arrr.

Simple, and yet really nice.  Well done.

So what kind of concealment bonus do you get for trying to hang off the pilings?

Pretty good, actually. It's the fish you have to worry about.

I guess this is what you'd get if DL had a REAL naval battle. There's my pirate ship in the background there.

Sigh....reminds me of good times at Deerfoot and Tapwingo...

(I know, I didn't GO to Deerfoot, but I surely did drop off and pick up enough times to enjoy the place!)
