I am building a boat.

I am having a some difficulty locating a lumber yard that has 2 1/2 " thick oak stock. I have called 4 lumber yards already. Nada. :-(.

I need a piece of stock in that is in the range of: 2 1/2" thick, 5" wide and 38" long. I can mill it down to 2 1/2" thick. But, it cannot be "green".

I need a build a stem. It needs to be dry. Otherwise, I will dry in place and my boat will never go straight. :-(.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your valued feedback.

Tight lines!
