:I have to go to Home Depot a few times a week when buying supplies to work on my house. Every time I go, I look through the WRC. I've been able to find clear 14' boards in varying colors.It's quite cheap.( $12 for a 1x6x14') The key is going often and sifting through the piles.I have some beautiful medium red-brown clear select WRC that someone didn't pick up at a local lumberyard.( $1.15 bd/ft. for 12' 1x8's) I was looking for some very light cream to pink WRC and found some clear stuff at Home Depot. Also, go on woodfinder.com.I found someone in the Midwest that had clear Northern White Cedar for $1.20/ bd. ft.I had to drive a ways, but bought 100 bd/ft. in 8' to 12' lengths.

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,
