My way of thinking is: There is nothing any better than a nice knotty pine clear coated. Currently I use a lot of Larch. It has a light red tint with streaks of snow white near the edges and beautiful red knots. It is a very fast growing wood and quit unstable but very durable. But If you've got the money burl maple is the showiest.

Hard woods are nice but they just seem to lack the pure beauty and simplicity of a nice simple inexpensive pine wood.

Your float riders are gonna wanna staple or nail bunting and or banners on it.

You'll need a good set of steps and other stuff to get fat girls up on it...

Was just up to the NYS Fair and saw a couple of real fancy wagons that the 6 horse hitches pull. Now that is a show! The wagons look great but the amount of time to keep them in that condition has got to be awesome. One wagon was solid oak totally scrolled and engraved, not a screw or bolt or nail was evident in the body, and the dings in it were terribly evident against the artwork. Heck just the time washing and grooming the nags is just short of amazing.

I truely do enjoy the horses and the amount of training involved to get a 6 horse hitch to move in step and as a unit. I glad some people have the time and the money to still do this.
