Wood should work fine. It seemed to me the composite was less prone to splintering than wood. Especially after I routed the edge. It is very smooth.
Time will tell.
My 5 foot blade has 8 half inch carriage bolts. Yours doesn't sound like overkill at all.
To be honest I was going to go with 1/2" bolts until i realize a 1/2" drill bit at my lowes was around $15 and a 3/8" was about $5.. $15 was too much for drilling 6 holes IMHO.. LOL
I only have about $15 in my entire setup (bolts, bit, and board).. We get so little snow in the past years, they board will probably rot out before I wear it out..
BTW - I didnt go with pressure a treated board - Was that a mistake?
