Thanks for the advice and pics. I live in Key West, very isolated from other boatbuilders and from any reasonable source of boatbuilding lumber. I built my last two kayaks out of locally sourced mahogany (no longer available) and pine. The woods weren't light or easy to work with, but the boats turned out beautifully. I'm resigned to ordering from online sources such as Noah's or CLC for my next kayak, but it's hard to select wood when I can't see it in person.
