: Menards in my area carries select pine and you can dig through it. This is
: what I am using for in my SOF project. It is another 2 hours past Chicago,
: but De Leeuw Lumber in holland MI carries clear cedar and they allow you
: to choose which board you get. I don't know if they ship or not, but maybe
: they know of a good lumber yard in chicago area. Their website is
: www.deleeuwlumber.com

That I suspect, being in the same state, is ponderosa pine, a little heavier than white pine but should work fine. I've used it since it is easily available and is clear.
