Ian,

Edensaw was already mentioned, but I think there is a place in Anacourtes, I don't know the name, but I think I have seen their ads in Wooden Boat Magazine. I'll look for an ad tonight.

I used 1/8" Mahogany Plywood from Eagle on my last kayak, It worked very well.

Home Depot here in Tacoma has been pressured into not carrying mohagany plywood, because it is not environmentally correct. When they were getting rid of it they were selling it a $3.98 per 3'x7' sheet.
