We might be able to find some if we really knew what it was. In the mean time anything that floats should work. :) :)

Gopher wood was used to build Noah's ark. No telling what it really is...

There in lies part of the problem. The word in Hebrew is only found once in the Bible and apparently it does not appear anywhere else in the Hebrew language. The early English translations of the Bible didn't even translate the word because there is no clue anywhere to what it means.
