It was a challenge to find suppliers for many of the things that I needed to build a boat.  Here is a reference of the suppliers I used that might help others.

Supplier

Item

Welbeck Sawmill

All the lumber especially the Douglas Fir.  They have excellent product knowledge and will work with you to select the best material.
West System Epoxy - they stock it, but don't have a lot of product knowledge
Heritage Marine

They are a West System discributor and have a good stock of epoxy
They are a distributor for Hutchings Marine and can get stainless fasteners and fittings.  The price was quite competative.

They were able to special order in stainless screws and are a lot more local to me than London.  The price was quite competative too.
The screws came in Home Hardware packaging, which is interesting since another Home Hardware had claimed that they could not get them at all.
