MKM Ribs |
| MKM
Craftman Series ribs consists of 22 differently
shaped ribs made of medium hard woods. The ribs
have a variety of curves, and relatively sharp edges
that are straight. The edges are finely sanded by
hand and should not contain any dings. MKM feels
that it is important for the curves of the rib to be
constant. Each rib is finished with an oil and wax
mixture that is deeply applied to the rib to make it
more durable in water. |
