I finally got to Woodsmiths yesterday for the hardwood needed for the chines and the hog. They had both straight grain fir and Honduran mahogany. I chose the fir. The folks at Woodsmiths were great and got the rough wood cut up in a couple hours even though it was Christmas eve. They're located in Falmouth, right across the street from Falmouth Lumber. Their selection of hardwoods is amazing. The fir was only 16 foot long so I will have to make a few scarf joints. The grain looked great. I had some photos of the wood showing the grain, but they somehow got deleted. The total cost was $343, but that included a some extra from the rough cut that I'll use somewhere else on the boat. I suspect the bill for hardwoods will be ~$1000 before I'm done.
