Thanks Bill. I have called around a bunch. I found a place about 1.5hrs from me in Fredrick that has vertical grain, clear cedar but it's basically $9 bdft. I found another place that has almost clear cedar for about $7/bdft. I think the cedar gods are telling me something. We have plenty of poplar and white pine around here.
Might just consider milling 3/16 strips to save the weight. May also cut down on the amount of hand beveling. I' going to mix in a little cherry, walnut or maple for contrasting colors though I haven't picked out the pattern yet.
Question: If I wanted to get contrasting colors with the same wood, could I simply stain strips prior to putting them on the molds? In other words, lay them on a long table and stain both sides. When dry, glue them up just like any other strips. I would use a water based stain of course.
