I've been seeking plastic suppliers for deck hardware bases. This site also has lots good stuff for instrument panels, engine panel covers, etc. A helpful site:
I've also been looking for some exotic woods for a few small projects. I'm going to try to repair some cracked/split teak trim pieces with contrasting "inlays." Ebay can be great for these, too, if you already have a particular wood type in mind, but this is the most comprehensive display of exotic woods I've seen.

If you are on the west coast, as I have mentioned before, you can also stop into your local Tap Plastics storefront and rummage through their scrap bin - everything in there is sold by the pound. So far I haven't spent more than a couple of dollars for any boat project. You can also just take in your drawing and they'll do the project for you for a pretty reasonable cost. But where's the fun in that?
