: Where are you located? Maybe one of us knows a good source.

: A friend of mine is using redwood. It's light, but splinters easily and is
: harder to get to bend. The color is much more consistant though.

: Dale

I am located in Dallas TX. I haven't found a source yet. I figured I would be able to find some nice redwood around here that people use for decks. If you know of a good supplier that is reasonable in price I would appreciate any help you can give. I priced some Cedar from Classic Boat, but the price for shipping to me was to high.
