: I saw an ad in the back of WoodenBoat for $0.25 per foot, cove and bead
: cedar. That might be $350.00 for a boat which sounds really steep to me.

Oh yeah! I paid $370 for _all_ the materials in my Guillemot 18.

I scrounged some cedar and redwood, and bought a little cedar, redwood, and spruce. I buy construction grade and just dig through the bins... If you restack everything nicely, the lumberyard guys will forgive you.

: As I mentioned in another post (Just to rub it in :) I picked up enough cedar
: for a couple of boats at a garage sale for $10.00. I've never bough new
: wood at market value for a strip boat, only plywood. Watch the
: classifieds.
