: Anyone here from Nova Scotia? I'm looking for a source of western red cedar
: that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, which would make paddling difficult...

: I've got a well equipped workshop and can plane and resize rough cut lumber.

: If anyone has used another type of wood more readily available 'out east' I'd
: like to know.

Both Atlantic White and Northern White Cedar should be available and are excellent, northern white cedar is ideal btw, better than WRC. These two are usually from small trees so you'll have to look at small yards that cut their own wood to find it.
