: I've a fellow in Sydney who was quoted $1000 to buy wood for a stripper.

: There must be a source for cedar is Sydney that's less expensive than that.

: Anyone have a source for boat building wood in Sydney?

: Rob

I live in NZ and WRC is expensive here too. My solution was to buy paulownia; it is lighter than WRC yet nearly as strong; rips and routes cleanly; has greater flexibilty than WRC and is grown in Australia.
