May be in South Alabama, but it's still north of me (I'm in Spanish Fort).

That's a beautiful boat. How was the Juniper to work? Where'd you pick it up?

: Bay Minette(south alabama) half rotten Juniper is the lighter wood...mahogany
: is the darker.

: The boat is a modified Petrel(.25" added to all dimensions)

: Nick thought the Juniper may be Atlantic Eastern Cedar.

: I really like the tone of the Juniper better than plain cedar.
