In Response To: Material: Western Red/White Cedar (John Robinson)

: I need help finding Western Red and White cedar boards to rip
: strips for a sea kayak I want to build. I live in Delaware and
: have tried all of the lumber places in my area, and all i've
: been able to find is Spanish Cedar. Alaskan Yellow would
: probably work too for accent strips to the Western Red. Any help
: would be greatly appreciated. I would gladly take a day trip out
: of state if I could find the wood boards.
: Thanks,
: John R

Thanks for the info...your are right about the pine, it is just for accents, so I really don't need Alaskan Yellow or Western White....I'll check out the place in Maryland and I do need clear vertical grain quarter sawed boards...
