Hi, my names Alex, im 16 years old, and i just recently have decided to build a kayak. I have a book called the Aleutian Kayak, by wolfgang brinck.... This book is a great help, however i was wondering what type of wood i should.... I know that spruce is recommended, but i am having trouble finding it? Any suggestions? Also, i was wondering if i could have any tips from people who have already built kayaks, about any problems they encountered, regardless of whether they were structural or motivational issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated =) callmecurtis04@hotmail.com

Thanks!
