I went to Johnson Boat works in White Bear Lake, MN to get my Spruce. I
bought a 16' x 6" x 3" for $1.50 per board foot. It cost me $5 to have a
cabinet shop cut it down to 5/8" strips, plus had enough left over for
spars.
Let's see now, if I remember right, that was in 1974 when I built my first
KR2. I also bought a second board the same size and price and it hung in the
rafters of my garage until a few years ago, when I cut it up to start
another KR.
Sure hate to think about buying more wood these days.
