Bill,
that's a great idea. However, from what I've noted from the builds I've followed, the strips are ripped from a board and the width of the strip equates to the thickness of the board. As a result, you would need at least 8/4 cedar boards to get strips twice the width plus the saw kerf.

In my experience 8/4 lumber is significantly more expensive than 4/4, and most 4/4 stock that I have bought (usually maple and cherry) has given me at least 1" thick after I've run it over the jointer and through the planer to clean it up. when you're looking at 20' boards that adds up to a lot of board feet and could come close to doubling the cost of the lumber (or close to it).
