Starting Goat Island build In West Virginia
Hello all, my name is John. I purchased a set of plans for the GIS a couple of weeks ago and plan on building this winter. I have found a source of Okume ply, but the lumber is killing me to find! No Doug Fir or Cedar to be found in my area. I don't really want to use Radiata pine as I hear bad things about it. I have found a source of clear white oak for a good price. I know oak is heavy, but it is strong and rot resistant. So what do the experts here think of using white oak to build her. I apologize if this has already been discussed, I tried searching but no results.
