Looking for Spanish Cedar
Do any of you have a line on lower priced Spanish Cedar?
Darn stuff is expensive. Almost cheaper to buy a humidor already done. Woodcraft has it for $10. sf 3/8 thick at a local store. Rockler has it for $8.40 sf plus shipping. A place in town has it for $5.60 sf, but it's 1" thick and rough sawn, so would need milling which should jack the price up more. Please let me know if you have any, or know of a cheaper source. thanks monkeyboy |

There are several guys selling finished boards on ebay. But not by the board foot. Maybe you can find something that fits your needs and budget. Check it out:

Thanks xrundog.
I just placed an order for 10 board feet from Emerson Hardwood in Portland http://www.emersonhardwood.com/ehc/default.asp that I will likely be 6" - 10" wide and one inch thick. I'll have it milled down to 3/8" which will double my board feet! End cost should be around 5.70 per BF. Almost half the cost of retail pieces. |
