Good Luck! I live in Orlando where there is no clear cedar. I had to order some boards from a specialty lumbar company in town. The cost seemed very high @ over $50 per 12' 1x10. Looking back, you know about hindsight, I would have been better off having premade bead and cove strips shipped in from the west coast. Given the fact that I didn't get to chose the boards for color or the time involved in making the strips or the fact that I had to buy a better router I'm pretty sure I should have bought the pre-cut stuff.

Oh well,
Good luck,
