Anybody have any good contacts - names, numbers or addresses to where I can get green or air dried white oak near New Brunswick, Canada? Say north of Mass.

A relative of one of my co-workers operates a small sawmill here in NB (I'm in Fredericton). While he's out of town right now, I'll aske Dave for some info when he gets back later this week.
While this came up when I was talking about getting local cedar for planking, he might easily have access to oak too.

I understand White oak is not native to New Brunswick, But I have not verified this.
Wonder what some other options for frames, keels etc, we might consider around here.

Brent,
I just checked my tree book and indeed White Oak (Quercus Alba) is not native to New Brunswick. The closest area to you with native White Oak is mid-coast Maine...

Bur Oak, Quercus Macrocarpa, is native to southern New Brunswick, and is frequently marketed as White Oak. The characteristics of the wood are similar to Q. Alba.

Do ya suppose they call it "Bur" Oak because it can grow so far north where other White Oaks would be saying "BRRRRRR!"? :D

Duke is the Man. He supplied me with all of the white oak for the backbone rebuild and re-ribbing of my John Alden sloop the "Elliot White". Absolutely the clearest steam bending stock I've ever seen in 8/4" He can supply what you need and will truck the order to you for at fair rates. He's got air dried too.
Located in NW Connecticut:
NEW ENGLAND NAVAL TIMBERS
860-693-8425. Leave him a message and call often. He's tought to get at home.

yeah ... sounds like a US source is more likely than a NB one. I spoke to the friend I referred to above - no oak.
And I reread Chapelle's description of Eastport Pinkies the other night, to see what folks used in boats made quite close to you on Fundy. His comment was that the local oak used by Deer Island builders in their Eastport pinkies was "a poor wood for boatbuilding." Guess that's part of the reason why folks used hackmatack ...
