: Getting wood is 12" the problem. There are a couple of shops locally
: that supply hardwood. If I want a 10" or 12" wide, it will be
: 1x12 by at least 6' if not longer. That will be a minimum of $60!

: Can you re-saw a 10" board? I haven't tried, but with a 10" blade
: on my table saw I can't imagine cutting deeper than 4".

: Oh well, I guess these aren't so much as technical problems as they are
: monetary.

: cheers

My hardwood supplier has big dump boxes of cutoffs and odd bits in lots of species and sold by the pound. That's what you see in the photos I posted of the curly maple. Only cost a few bucks. I also found lacewood and zebrawood for subsequent boats at the same source.
