That was poplar, but I don't necessarily like the way it has worked out. It has served the purpose, but I won't use it again. Ash works pretty good and is usually preferred but I didn't have access to any at the time. Subsequent boats have been done with the okoume plywood. The plywood has worked very well and looks great. I am on a serious lookout for other types of wood to use. By that I mean wood that is available and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
