: I have no experience with it, though my understanding is that it's hard to
: find in long, clear boards. Rob Macks has mentioned NORTHERN white cedar
: in rather glowing terms, but it's not the same thing.

I was getting Atlantic 12-16 ft lengths, might be had longer I think, (At least I was told it was Atlantic white) while Northern white was generally around 12 ft max. The Atlantic, if that's what it was, was a bit heavier and generally stiffer and yellower in color.
