Toxic, #1 cedar is exported. Apparently we can't afford it either.

Oh I know #1 is exported.. it is why we can't get any good wood anymore.

I grew up on the west coast, so I know the wood. I am also in the constrcution industry (30yrs) & I have seen the quality of wood go way down.

Right now I am looking to special order some 8x8 & 6x14 clear cedar.... no idea what that is going to cost yet... at least I don't have to pay for it.
