: I've been looking at the images on the Redfish gallery and am
: really taken with this boat:

: Does anyone have any idea what the woods are? Especially the dark
: wood around the sides of the hull.

I would bet that if it was on the Redfish website he probably got his wood there also. Joe has some Peruvian Walnut for the dark colors. I have used this myself a couple of times and the color looks exactly like shown in the picture. I am guessing the three colors used are Western Red Cedar, White Cedar or yellow pine, and Peruvian Walnut.
