: Hi,
: There's a company called Cedar Sales up there. You can try emailing
: 'info@cedarsales.com.au ' (but I emailed them last week and haven't had a
: response yet). Check a copy of "Australian Amatuer Boat Builder"
: for a phone number - they advertise in there.

: They do pre-moulded bead and cove strips, DAR, etc an a variety of sizes and
: were recommended to me of kayak strips.

That's where I got my cedar, they've got heaps, except that I bought the 6.8 x 89mm x 4.8m strips that is used for some shutter blinds. They left me to hunt through a great pile of assorted colours from chocolate brown to light pink (I found the lighter colours slightly easier to work with), it was no trouble picking out what I wanted. It was easy to split into the strip widths I needed & then bead & cove myself provided you've got the gear (much cheaper too).
