In Response To: Material: The woodworkers store/Rockler and Poplar (Dale Frolander)

: I was in the woodworkers store/Rockler just north of Lake Union in Seattle
: today. They are having a 40% off sale on all wood tomorrow Friday 9-13 to
: Sunday 9-15. They let me get the sale price today so I bought a nice piece
: of Alaskan Yellow Cedar, some poplar, and a piece of cherry veneer.

: Speaking of poplar, why don't people use it for kayak building? It is a light
: color wood that has a hint of the color green in it. It looks like it
: would be easy to work with and is light weight. I bought the piece to play
: around with since it is cheap ($2.70/bd ft minus 40%), and to see how it
: looks with epoxy on it.

Bill used it on the deck of the Sea Spirit and it's gorgeous!
