Anybody have a source for good cedar in the central part on NC. I plan on ripping my own, but if I can get a good deal on cove and bead strips, I might change my mind.

As an alternative to cove and bead strips has anybody every used a sanding table (a table saw ,with a fence, with a sanding disk in place of the blade) to put a slight bevel on the strip, thereby eliminating the fragile nature of the cove?
