I've heard that before. One day 4 months ago, I checked 4 of their stores ... zip ... nothin'. All they had was stuff so full of knots it looked like it had achne! I didn't find anything different at the lumber yards either. All in all I tried over 10 places. I was told all the good stuff goes to the mills. I would imagine that every now and then a good load of it passes through ... but never when I need it! Finding my cedar was just a stroke of good luck!
