: Does anyone have any recommendations for places to get cedar (and maybe some
: accent hardwoods) in Washington state? I'm about to start building the
: 16'5" Storm LT, buut don't have a good setup to make my own strips.

Hi Ethan, you can rent a nice table saw for about $40 and rent/borrow/buy a router + canoe bits. That's what I did. That way you take advantage of the cheap price of cedar boards here. You can get a good deal on WRC at Dunn Lumber and Home Depot. Also, Cedar King in Redmond has super prices but the boards aren't as nice.
