Thanks everyone for the leads. I'll check out Westwind for sure and will follow up Michael's lead. I also found Coastal Pacific Forest Products http://www.vgfir.ca/ that I plan on checking also. I'm hoping to get down Victoria before Christmas and make a day of it. I'm hoping to get to the sawhorses/stands next week sometime, then on to the strongback. Time is approaching for the cedar ...

: Glen identified a good supplier. I have used their wood for two kayaks and
: been very happy with it. The Westwind people are great to deal with, they
: sent me full length, knot-free, nicely milled strips. The first batch was
: very uniform in colour, the second was more variable. Not cheap though.
