Here in Ohio, it's also difficult to find anything clear except for redwood.
: I made most of this Guillemot from redwood, with some cedar and pine on
: the deck. The redwood may not bend as easily as cedar, but it bends
: enough. It's weight is close to cedar - maybe a tad heavier. My Guillemot
: weighs in at 44lbs. I used redwood entirely for the hull of my WLII, and
: it turned out fine too. So, I'd say go for it!
