: Truitt and White in Berkeley carry wrc up to 20 feet, s3s. Good color, mostly
: clear. 1-by and 2-by sizes available. 1 by 4s are $1.29 a running foot, I
: believe. That's competitive. Wrc is a direct competitor to redwood in
: California, according to Dan White, owner, hence it's relatively hard to
: find. They carry it because people use it for house trim.
: Good luck.
: --SF
in San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, a yard called ARROW FENCE & LUMBER (818-702-8772) has 16 ft. + 2x6's they'll re-saw. I got 1 ea. redwood, western red cedar & old growth port orford cedar ( white like pine) for $ 146. --more than enough for my 14 ft. GREAT AUK ( I'm up to the cockpit). These guys don't even advertise in the Yellow Pages! Ask for John or Dave.
