: I've a fellow in Sydney who was quoted $1000 to buy wood for a stripper.

: There must be a source for cedar is Sydney that's less expensive than that.

: Anyone have a source for boat building wood in Sydney?

I managed to get enough WRC for two kayaks for a lot less than that, but it was probably a bit of a one-off.
The timberyard I went to in Queanbeyan was getting out of WRC because it was becoming too dear, but had a pile of offcuts in the yard from the big flitches they ripped down.
I selected what I was fairly confident would be enough for a kayak. They charged me $100 and when I dressed it and ripped it I had enough to build a single and a double.
