Hi My name is Eoin and am going to attempt my first home build of strip build Kayak. I would like to know if anybody knows of a list of wood that I could use. I work with trees and have a range of wood that I send thru my mill.Living in Ireland though I am limited to certain species e.g. Fagus(beech),Larix(larch),(Elm)Ulmus,Pine,Acer(sycamore). Can any of these be used or is western red a must? Thanks Eoin
