I couldn&#039;t work out why the surface had such a rough but regular texture until I removed it from its frame and saw the manufacturers label. The board almost feels like plastic or Formica it is so hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to identify the mysterious Miss Rankin! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]138506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]138507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]138508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]138509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]138510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]138511[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
