: Each board is costing me about $80 or $90.

: Am I reading that right?
: My last build I used 4"X4"X10' cedar post @ 16.40 dollars
: each. I rip the 4X4 into 4-1X4 then into strips. That yields 46
: or 48 strips per post. I also scarf my strips on the forms
: except for the first shear strip.
: The posts are #2 cedar but the salesman lets me serch for clear
: lumber. That is becouse I bring by what I build for him to see
: and he feels he is part of the project.
: I will thank my lucky stars tonight for the deal I seem to be
: getting.
: Clayton Plunkett

About the same price for clear cedar around here, it's expensive.
