Hi All
With all the members and so many contacts, does anyone know of a top quality supplier (read cheaper) of Western Red Cedar. As I live down the South Coast of NSW (Tuross Head) I would like to get a supplier reasonably close, but if the price is right the postage should'nt be a problem. As I am intending to build a 5.5m Yacht I will be after approx 900m to 1000m of 30mm x 9mm. I have facilities to rip wide boards and maybe to Cove edges but it will all depend on the price. If the price is reasonable, I will buy it already ripped and routed.

Hi Bert W
I am after 700m of 6m x 30mm x 9mm Western Red Cedar, Clears, square edges.
If you could give me a price of 30mm wide or the standard width and I can rip that down to 30mm wide myself.
Looking forward to your reply.
Paul

Hi, Enter The Newfound Woodworks on your search engine. They had cove and beaded cedar strips for sale. In any case it is a very interesting site. Good luck. Bob
