: I've a fellow in Sydney who was quoted $1000 to buy wood for a stripper.

: There must be a source for cedar is Sydney that's less expensive than that.

: Anyone have a source for boat building wood in Sydney?

: Rob

Hi Rob,

I've not found it yet, but there has to be a native species that would work as a substitute for red/white cedar. May not have the identical characteristics of cedar but should still be useable. We use it because it's inexpensive and light. Not alot of point in using it if it's grossly expensive.
