Material: How much cedar does one need ?

Hello Everybody,
I'm in the process of building a 18 feet White Guide Canoe, and I am wondering how much material I will need. Cedar is VERY expensive here in Norway, so I'd like to buy just the right amount.
A local supplier can provide me with boards 300mm x 20mm.
Can anyone guide me in this matter ?

I also thinking about using a combination of pine and cedar to keep my budget...
Is pine okay for a canoe project ?

Regards,
Kjetil Grødem
