Since I was pressed for cash, I made my busk from two Sherwin William paint stirrers and wrapped them in muslin. Though Home Depot's stirrers were nicer and I could have used just one of them, the Sherwin William's stirrers were there requisite 14 inches long. And they were free... The busk came out rather nicely, I think--though far plainer than the scrimshawed whalebone one Herman Melville brought back from his adventures in whaling.
