Hi All-

Just reading the posts, and I saw where Jay wrote about Sitka Spruce:

>> It's almost un-obtainable. Only speciality wood outlets "might" have it or speciality "boat wood outlets". Also very expensive.

If you are near White Plains, NY, ML Condon has a lot of Sitka Spruce. I have been there to buy several times and met other boatbuilders who came especially to buy from their stock.

Have a wonderful new year!

Jack
