Clear, vertical-grain Western Red Cedar square-cut 1/4" x 3/4" strips, assorted lengths 17ft and longer. Most designs can be built with about 1200 lineal feet, about $450. Sure you can use a less expensive or more exotic wood, chances are it contains too much resin, is more brittle to work with, or you'll end up with a heavier boat... you simply can't beat Western Red Cedar for canoe building. We purchase the highest grade of cedar, wood you typically won't find at your local box lumber retailer. Parent boards are precision cut on our gang saw to give you clear, consistent strips. We package in a poly tube, ready for you to pick-up or ship via common carrier. With the extreme length charge, LTL freight to your door may cost $300-400.
