: Here in Queensland, such items as cedar, pine (the pine that is available is
: a quick growing breed ... very very poor quality) and other good
: kayak-type woods are almost non-existant.

Hi Bill, where are you in QLD? In Brisbane we have a pretty good supplier of WRC called Cedar Sales (novel name). About $35 for an 8 foot 2x4 to make a greenland paddle - give that a try. I haven't worked out yet what it will be to build a whole stripper yet...
