: I plan on building a stich and glue kayak this fall, and have been looking
: around for plywood. None of the lumberyards around here (Winnipeg,
: Manitoba) carry okoume or meranti or luaun.

Greetings from Saskatoon fellow prairie person! Just this afternoon I called Windsor Plywood to check out price & availability of marine grade plywoods in this city. They carried Marine grade 4 mm Okoume for $89.90 per sheet. The Windsor Plywood web site says there's two locations in Winnipeg. You might give 'em a call. If I can find it here in Saskatoon surely Winnipeg should have it somewhere since it's at least 2 or 3 times the population.
