I just got back from picking up 8 of these 4x4's. Hard to believe but I got them from the Home Depot in Sequim Washington. I was rolling down the aisle with some pressure treated 2x4's on Wednesday and in all that ugliness these clear cedar 4x4's jumped out like pearls on a pig.

When I left there were maybe 3 dozen left at floor level but there is an as yet unopened sling up above. I asked if this was a store special or that they were more widely available but I was unable to get an answer to that question. The tag says Keller Lumber and a search on that reveals a large supplier of manufactured lumber in Roseburg Oregon, so I suspect they may be available in other stores, at least along I5.

I went through the pile that was at floor level but I probably did not help myself much as they are of fairly consistent quality. There is an occasional pin knot or a bit of wane but, as far as I can tell without cutting into them, they are bone dry. Price was $12.97.

Thanks to all for the quick responses to my initial post and I sure hope some others can take advantage of this deal.
