: Today's magic word is "CLEAR". Say that when you walk into a
: lumberyard and you'll get all kinds of respect. :) They know you have
: money to burn.

: $5 a board foot is not an awful price for CLEAR western red cedar. If I was
: building boats for museums or as coffee tables I'd probably try to get
: some, but for my purposes, lower grades of wood are perfectly fine, and
: far less expensive. Cedar for fences and decks is not clear, but when you
: rip it into strips the orientation of the knots in your strips is turned
: 90 degrees from what you see on your original boards. Sometimes this can
: make a big improvement, and sometimes it makes things worse. Trash the
: worst strips and save money with the best.

: PGJ

so i just need to find an 18' couch.
