You can contact Ken Katz. He's from the Bay area .

He built an Outer Island and is an avid builder and would know wood sources. You can mention me.

I 've used Redwood on two boats so far. A little more brittle than cedar. I think more beautiful - same weight. I like it. Also more available in long lengths.
