Mike, It's way past my period of coherancy ( spelling goes first ), but, I hadn't thought to look up in Sacto. I just got an email from a Mr. C up in Penryn, Ca. , between Auburn and Sacto. and he is interested in getting together and going to McBeath hardwoods in Berkeley, Ca. for the Mahogany plywood. I haven't been able to beat $38+ for 4mm x 4' x 8' sheets anywhere, and he has a source for cloth and resin. I will check on the prices at TAP and we'll compare with his source. Thank You for the input. It took me neigh on to 5 days of hunting, but, I do believe things are beginning to gel. I just may get to build that canoe after all. And then................. Looking forward to chatting with everyone again soon. As I told Jason at Noah's, You whine enough, and the cheese will always show up. Thanks everyone, talk at ya again.

Rehd. ( whew ) G-Night....morning
