NEED WOOD

I'm looking for a good source to buy mahogany lumber.
It can be rough sawn or finished. Preferrable in the mid
west or eastern U.S.A.
 
Thanks for any help,

I recently updated my connie to diesel and have a pair of lincoln 430's along with Westuburke gas generator. Does anyone know anyone or any company that might have an interest? Please email me for more info. Thanks,

Chris Craft - Pram

Anybody have the measurements for the wood and plywood that makes up the Pram kit? I got the template for the jig from the Mariners Museum but not the actual dimensions of the material to be used.

Strip building

Still sketching plans for a strip-built pirogue, have a few questions about construction....
What are the dimensions of the strips used in this method? I realize length would be determinate on the positioning of the strip on the craft, but what are the optimum width and thickness dimensions? Are these dimensions a factor of the material used (cypress, white pine, yellow pine, oak etc.) and the amount of curvature to be covered or is there a standard working dimension?
I've got a few ideas I'm kicking around, I'm sure I'll have other questions. I'd appreciate any help I can get from guys that have already used this construction method.
Thanks,
Gary
