In Response To: Material: Value your sources for White Cedar (Bill Schill)

I'm originally from Munising in the UP.. Most of my friends and family are still in that area.
I know of a couple mills (mostly just dudes with a saw mill in their back yard kind of places) who cut and saw white cedar. Could ask around if anyone is interested in any other potential sources.

Also curious if the Escanaba place you contacted was called "Best Cedar Products"?
I ran across this Craig's List Ad not long ago (posted the beginning of January).
The ad claims to have anything and everything you could ever want in White Cedar.
