Fred, Ross, others in NE Ohio,

I am in Berea, building a Pygmy Coho (it's been on the water once, at Hinkley lake), putting hatches and bulkheads on now.

Anyway, I have heard of a club, CABBS (Cleveland Area Boat Builders Society) that meets at the Berea branch of the county library, although I've never been to their meetings, despite living only a couple miles away. I know they once had a wooden kayak on display outside the library last year. I probably still have a phone number at home somehwere if anybody is interested.
