: Redwood is more common than you might imagine especially if you call some of
: the real lumber Companies not Home Centers. One major advantage of Redwood
: is it's usually clear and comes in long lengths. If your lunber Co.
: doesn't have it ask them who to call.

I agree with Jay, Hit the yellow pages for lumber yards in your area. Also try the wholesale suppliers, many will sell retail for speciality woods like redwood. All the local lumber yards draw from the wholesale suppliers. My local lumber yards can order redwood and have it in a few days and like Jay mentioned, it is mostly clear and available in long lengths so what you order will most likely be good.
