Got this just off 220 past Thorndike. Very clear, but only 8-10' lengths. I don't see that as a major drawback after reading about scarfing to gain the right length. Mark
: Darn good price if the lengths are reasonable and it is fairly clear. Dont
: worry about kiln dried, if its straight grain, you can saw it into strips
: and it will dry in a fairly short time if you put it up in warm place with
: plenty of air circulation. Black mountain in Portland was asking $2.25 a
: board foot this spring for kiln dried fairly clear boards (they had
: lengths up to 14' which is rare). The dealer up in Portage that advertises
: in Uncle Henrys has top quality cedar but I have heard he is pricey plus
: its one long haul up there from southern maine. If the dealer in the Maine
: woods is off of Rt 201 up near the forks, (it might be Embden) the wood
: was good quality a few years ago, but he charged a 25 cents premium for
: the long boards.
