Most of this Guillemot is made of cypress. It is flexable and light, fairly easy to work with too. It makes beautiful boats of all kinds. The old wood you are talking about sounds great. My brother-in-law built all of the cabinets, mouldings and most of the other wood work int his new house from cypress rescued from an old clubhouse at a local golf course that was being demolished.

Have fun and post pics as you go.
