: The Home Depot (here) carries Western Red Cedar. There were many worthless
: (for our needs) pieces, however after 30 mins or so of digging through
: their stacks, enough quality boards were found to build 2 or 3 kayaks.
: Total cost, around $85. If there are other HDs in your area you may want
: to search each one. A board here and a board there adds up. Good Luck on
: your project

Man you are lucky, My home depot does'nt have boards I would build an Adirondak chair out of. I have spent hours looking at their stock. Every time I go in I look. But then I can't find a 2x4 I would want to frame a house with either. But I keep looking anyway.
Have fun and congrats, Elliott
