What kind of wood are you looking for specifically? Redwood, cedar?
What size? How long? Do you have a bandsaw or table saw to cut strips
from a plank? Do you have a planer to smooth the strips after you cut
them out? Have you considered buying shorter pieces and scarfing them
together to make longer pieces?

I built a redwood strip canoe once, but it was a long time ago.

I am in the process of building an Aleut Baidarka sea kayak. I got the plans
from Nick Schade, considered an artist when it comes to building "crafts". I
have the forms completed and I'm ready to start stripping the hull. I am
unable to find a place to purchase the wood from. I checked before I started
this project and I was assured by three places that they could provide the
materials for me. So I did research the issue I am facing. Any assistance
would be greatly useful.
