If you go to a supplier of cedar siding, you might be able to find lengths up to
20 or 22 feet or more. One thing to remember, especially if you look through their stock, (Make sure to put it back neatly) is to look for flat sawn lumber.(the grain going with the width of the board, or there abouts) You might be able to get this a little cheaper since quarter sawn wood is more desirable for cedar trim, as it is for cedar strips. But when you saw flat sawn wood into strips, they become quarter sawn wood for the strips. I hope that this helps, Pamela

I am looking for clear grade wood planks in either Western Red Cedar or
: Redwood. I live in Iowa and I occasionally get up to Minnesota. Can anyone
: give me a lumber yard source for this type of wood in Iowa or Minnesota
: (or surrounding states of Iowa)? I will be using the wood to build a
: kayak.

: Thanks,

: Rich
