20' white oak

flybynight

Curious about Wooden Canoes
I'm looking for some 20 foot long white oak for gunwales on my current project. any thoughts on where to get it?
 
I don't know....
Last time I used it I scarfed a couple of pieces from a 10' board that I got from a friend.

Check Bennett Hardwoods in Wausau. If you are in NW Wisconsin, check for hardwood suppliers in the Duluth and Minneapolis area.
Let me know if you find some....

I have 21' White Ash. I'd sell a couple of sticks if you want to stray from oak.
Ash has a similar appearance.
 
Would definitely be interested. would prefer to use oak, but if I cant come up with any it would be a nice alternative!

Nice work.

Was just curious, a collector in these parts has been trying to part with a collection for some time.

I "think" there are a couple.
There used to be an ad on the For Sale tab, but I didn't see it now.

I think I may know the boats you're talking about. If they are, I know a couple of people that attempted to buy, but weren't successful...............
