: ... make that 16', not 12'- obviously as the pic shows four, 4'
: sections. Duh to my math skills. Also if I did use it for ribs I
: would resaw it on the bandsaw to 1/4" or whatever the
: thickness and then saw into strips so they are quarter-sawn.
I love the port orford and am blessed to have Emmer Brothers Cedar Outlet just down the road from me. I have a pergola from Port Orford have used it on some foot bridges as well as the kayaks and SUPS. I could fondle entire bunks of Port Orford in the lot but I usually sniff the indoor racks where the clear stuff hides. I'm looking at a receipt on my desk, I bought a 2x6 12' for $36 and a 2x4 14' for $42. BUT I haven't smelled salt water in months and it did snow here today. So your home has some perks too. Travis
