: from their stock.

: Their agent in WA is Austim. I would give them a try.

: Also Paulownia is worth looking at, I haven't used it but I know a
: few people who have with great success.

Wow, thanks everyone for such great advice. I will check out Austim, and see if I can find someone that stocks Paulownia. I am planning on building several kayaks, so I will have plenty of chances to experiment.
