: Does anyone know of a source of Okoume in Southern California, the closer to
: San Diego the better. I'd be willing to drive as far a Santa Barbara if I
: had to but I'm hoping that somewhere in the vast, over-industrialized L.A.
: area there has to be someone selling Okoume for less than the $89.00 per
: sheet that it's going for here in San Diego.

: Thanks - my choice of which boat is depending on it!

Paul,
Have you tried Frost Hardwood up near Mirimar Air Station? I think they have a pretty good deal and if you belong to the San Diego Fine Woodworkers club they give a nice discount. I can't find my receipt from my last purchase but I seem to recall less than $40 per sheet for 4mm. Give me a shout if I can help. See you on the water, Dave
