Paulownia in Perth??
Hi guys,
I'm building a wood strip canoe and am having difficulty sourcing adequate lengths of Paulownia. Does anyone know of a supplier in Perth who can provide decent lenghts of the stuff?
I've contacted highpoint and they can only do 3.5metre.
Thanks
Kev

I suspect 3.5 metre lengths will be the best you can do anywhere, I think that's about the length of the raw logs that get imported. At least that's what I found when I ordered Paulownia for my Goat Island skiff. You just end up doing some scarfing to get the five or so metre lengths you need for a kayak (or a sailboat).

Thanks guys, I've had a response from a Paulownia farm in WA who are thinning at the moment, they may be able to accomadate. I was hoping to avoid scarfing. Fingers crossed!

Highpoint Timbers in Rockingham supply Paulownia in almost any shape or form you need, even mill it on demand.
