Plans for Bat Rocket Box
I am building a bat rocket box based on these plans. I am using 1"-thick rough-cut hemlock planks for the chamber walls. We live near Ithaca, NY.
The plans call for a series of grooves, ~1/2-inch apart, ~1/16" deep, for the bats to grip.
The rough-cut surfaces of my lumber have surface features that are ~1/32" deep already. Will I need to cut additional grip features for them? (If I must, I will; I'd rather create features in the wood than add a mesh that could deteriorate.)
Thanks for the advice,
Matteo
