Seattle is a great place to be for supplies. If you go to
http://rtpnet.org/~robroy/baidarka/books.html
suppliers are listed at the bottom, including George Dyson, who supplies the
majority of the nylon/polyester coverings, as well as needles.
Dyson, Baidarka & Co.
435 West Holly St
Bellingham WA 98225
(360)734-9226
(360)671-9736 (fax)
If you want actaul canvas, there are many places that sell this as well as
Seattle fabrics,
http://www.seattlefabrics.com/cotton_frameset.html
who have #10 duck (not 10 oz canvas).
I'm sure someone in your area knows other local suppliers.
Good luck,
Paul
