Material: Help! Out of Cedar Strips

Hi,

I hope someone can help me... I'm in Southington, Connecticut. I'm building a boat (actually 2 boats. One for me, and one for my son. Am I nutz?).. My son and I are enjoying the building process. We have a nice feather pattern across the boat, and have come to the cockpit area... THEN I find I'm running out of the darker strips. I have tons of light strips, but the darker strips (Red Cedar), particularly the 3/4 inch groved strips we're almost out of. I DO have enough to finish the boat, but it would be all in the light wood, so the patterns would be blown...

So, my question... Does anyone have any extras left over from a boat, in the Connecticut area? Ordering just a handful would be cost prohibitive on the shipping, but if someone has some extra, not too far away, I'll come get them. Reasonable prices paid. Please contact me offline...

I APPRECIATE it, greatly!!
