: Hi. I just bought my first kayak kit. I got a Shearwater Sport
: Hybrid. Unfortunately when it arrived, it only had 2 shades of
: cedar. The listing said 3: a light, medium and dark. I received
: light & medium. I called them thinking it was a mistake and
: they would just send me some dark cedar. They said that's all
: they had and couldn't get any dark cedar. I had my hard set on a
: deck design that would require 3 different shade.
: Does anyone know where I can get some dark cedar so I can build the
: kayak of my dreams? Thanks for any help.

Consider some American Walnut. It contrasts beautifully with cedar. It is a little more heavy though, so I use it fairly sparingly.
