Gee ... I thought I DID take my time! After a long search, this was all I could find locally. If it was gonna be cedar, this was gonna be it. I took what I needed and ran like heck ... and I was glad to get it!

I wish they would hold some of the good stuff for the craftsman rather than send it all somewhere else.

: You don't need a jointed edge to cut strips from. If you have small
: irregularites get rid of them with a plane. If you have a big curve mark a
: chalk line on one edge and cut the excess with a circular saw. Run the
: sawn edge against your fence to true the other edge and start cutting your
: strips.

: Take more time choosing your boards next time.

: All the best,
