: Yellow cedar is a nice kayak frame wood but fir , pine , spruce are all good
: too. I use yellow cedar as it is available nearby.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of using fir. It's about the same weight as Yellow Cedar and a heck of a lot cheaper down here in the low country. I'll have to mull it over. Aaron, didn't you use fir on your baidarka?
