I went to pick up my cedar to cut into strips only to find out the material wasn't good enough to use. It was full of knots all across the face where all I would be able to get is short strips. I really don't want to scarf any joints on this canoe. Can anyone give me the name of a supplier that provides full length strips already milled (bead and cove 18'). I am trying to find the most reasonable price avail. due to the fact they will have to shipped to Dallas TX.
