Can you purchase 12 foot sheets of Okuome? If so, where and approximate cost for 4x12 sheets. I am attempting to get around the scarfing as I am definately the novice woodworker. Thanks and any input and advice will help as I am planning to build the Devlin Bluebill in the spring. Wen Gartman

Dear Wen,

Scarfing is incredibly easy and yet it's the "moat" around the boat (project). I too found it hard to fathom that me a mere civilian could scarf. It's easy I promise.

If you have difficulty finding 12 footers, just stick with the 8's and tons of people here will walk you through it. You're going to laugh at how easy it is.
 
10' is the longest I have seen. Scarfing is the easiest part of the build....yet is the most agonising for most to get started with.
 
Wen--Just do a pratice run on some cheap stuff prior to the good stuff. I will admit I had a hard time making that first cut. Its not as bad as you think. -j
