Rich,

If you're still looking, and you are willing to pay for nice stuff;

Scherer Bros Lumber stocks Aye grade Western Red Cedar (no knotts) and "Clear" Redwood to 20' at their Medberry store (I35W and HW 10).

They a stock "D" grade WRC to 16' at their Washington Ave store.

They sell by the BF, length doesn't matter. It's expensive, cost me about $140 for the 3 20" 2x4's (Aye grade) I used for my last canoe. It's nice stuff.

The "D" costs less.

The only down is they are only open business hours and till 12:00 on sat.

There is also a yard in St Paul that carries nice cedar/redwood, but I can't remember the name offhand.

If you don't mind splices, and searching piles, try Menards, at least hear HD is a waste of time.

Dan

: I am looking for clear grade wood planks in either Western Red Cedar or
: Redwood.
