In Response To: Northern/Atlantic White Cedar found in CT (Bob Deutsch)

What lengths were you able to get? I was thinking of the possibility of doing an Aleutian kayak from Brincks book, which calls for preferably two 1x8x16ft vertical grain (quarter sawn), or possibly plain-sawn planks.

Actually, he calls for red cedar. Any major difference between Red Cedar and Northern or Atlantic White Cedar?

Thanks, Paul
