"... I have been looking on the internet with little luck in finding a wooden spar builder in the nw let alone what the cost might be. I know there are some in PT but haven't found any web sites."
I don't know of any mastmakers in PT that have websites, but you might try:
Steve Chapin of Point Hudson Boat Shop, 360-385-6863, who just built a birdsmouth foremast for the pinky schooner Pleiades -- sweet stick (I got to help with the glue-up).
Bruce Tipton, 360-437-9342, excellent traditional sparbuilder, also in Point Hudson
Haven Boatworks, 360-385-5727, or the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-op, 360-385-6138
"If we stay with a solid spar what is the availablity of suitable wood around here?"
Oh, there's lots of suitable wood around here; it's spendy, but it's around...
good luck,
