Dry Rot in Frames

Hey folks, tonight I discovered some dry rot in the bottom of three of the frames on the Keith Steele I am restoring. I've been searching the forum for about an hour now looking for the "well documented" procedure that AJ DeRosa has created for repairing such problems but cant find it anywhere. Maybe it's the heat gun and paint fumes. 

So... anybody got any advice on how to repair or replace these the correct way? If this has been covered a jillion times can you point me to a good thread?

Also, I really need to find some POC but am striking out. I live near Boise but don't mind a moderate road trip. Can anybody offer any advice?

Thanks.

Did you check if High Desert Hardwoods stocks or will order POC? They're in Eagle.

Yes, I checked with them. They didn't want to fool with POC or marine plywood. They told me I'd probably have to look in Portland.

 Turns out though, after having a really awesome phone conversation with Dutch (thank you, Dutch) that the frames are fir, not POC. I can find fir a lot easier.

Thanks for the tip though.
