Does anyone know who may make 25/28 mm duck board?

Hi

As a 28mm WW1 nut myself, It not hard to make Duck boarding. Just get somef wire cutters and a bunch of wood strips. maker the width of your planned trench on a larger stick and just start cutting, I watch a Movie and by the end have more then enough boards. Then cut ireagular long stips of board and lay them in the trench Like a upside down railroad. Then paint white/tacky glue on the rail piece and start randomly sticking the board along the rail. In no time you'll have a nice bottom to your trench.

As was building a lot of trenches for a 6'x8' board I started with matchsticks. Too time consuming. I bought some Chinese bamboo place mats and cut them to size. Not prefect but they look ok.
