From my Blog: https://house-doc.net/Oonagh
Everything that is not plywood has to be sourced locally and tropical hardwoods in the sizes needed are not easily found in local lumber yards. Fortunately, my son-in-law is a carpenter and knew of a specialty lumber yard only 1 hour away, Maryland Select Hardwoods.

They stock a wide variety of exotic wood and were easy to deal with.
I will need a fair amount of wood to finish the boat, including the 3″x3″x12′ mast and two 2″x2″x10′ booms. I initially selected 3 pieces of African mahogany to get me started on the keel, skeg, gards, inwales and quarter knees.
I will add to this post as I purchase more wood.
3/11/21 – Located a closer lumber yard with mahogany. Dyson Lumber in Great Mills, MD. I was able to get a 2″ x 9″ x 12′ slab. It was was perfectly straight and square and only rough cut on the 2″ sides. That should be enough for the rest of the project.
