Have a word with our very own Hawaian timberframer George Kobayashi at georgekob@aol.com (and in the mean time, learn all you can about termites!)

The database also shows guild memebers William Inglis and John Sullivan, both from Kapa'au

Best of Luck!
Thank you very much for the reply. I met George at the PA Conference, He imported his Doug Fir and has been away from Hawaii for a long time- working all over , except there. I emailed him first and have not recieved a reply, nor have I gotten a reply from John S on BigIsland..just was hoping someone else had knowledge in the arena. I have considered Port Orford Cedar and to just ship it over, but I want to exhaust my resources first as cost is King right now. Bob[/b]
Oh and by the way, the Termites are still 30-40 miles South of us. But, you are right, I have been studying up on them big time... They are closer to the Port cities and bigger populations, houses, subdivisions... We are in the sticks and NO ONE AROUND!!! ......
