: 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.

I live far from where AYC grows too (Manitoba). I ordered mine from here: http://www.westwindhardwood.com/
Their wood is excellent (but not cheap) and they are nice people to deal with.
