Heyy... When I was in Seattle this summer, I stopped by the Wood Boat Heritage Center (Wooden Boat Shop too, but that's another story) and stopped into the woodshop. There was a guy in there building a stitch&glue boat from carbon honeycomb from Boeing Surplus. He said he thought it was the same stuff they use for the wing panels on the Stealth! Anyhow, I asked if I could pick it up--it was maybe 25 lbs!

I need to visit Boeing Surplus someday!
