Hello,

I went to the lumberyard ALONE yesterday! I bought some 8-9 ft. Northern White Cedar boards- wide select. The widest was 13.5", the narrowest was 8". For wide select I have to pay $2.60 a board ft.rough sawn. Last time they came out at 7/8" planed with almost no knots. I did not need the wood immediately, but I always have big plans. I am still have not completed the coaming on my G.A. It eats on me because I reeeeeally want to keep working on it, but I am on a screen porch in Wisconsin where nothing will set up..glue or epoxy. Anyway, is this a good price?
