Where to buy Western Red Cedar?

For some this seems to be a dumb question but I live in Oklahoma City, we have cedar here but not any that is clear to cut and make into strips. So is there a place on line that sells and ships western red cedar 1 x ?? x 8' long. I have lots of clear pine and ash as well as walnut. But lack the red cedar. Any help would be appreciated!!

Here in Nothern VA there are a couple of sources.

I remember a woodworking/turning friend mentioning he gets wood from these folks. they list red cedar. http://www.freestatetimbers.com/ stock_western_red_cedar.html

Here is another source he uses. They carry red cedar http://www.exoticlumberinc.com/price_list.php

He also gets wood from these folks. Not sure they carry red cedar though. http://www.dunlapwoodcrafts.com/

You might also try these people. I found them doing net search. http://www.bearcreeklumber.com/species/wrcedar.html

Have you tried the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association (www.wrcla.org/)? They may be able to put you intouch with a more local source.

Hope this helps with your project. Good Luck

Thanks,

Two of these are ones I've tried with not luck. Dunlap I called but they do not carry it for now. I am talking to Bearcreek. Thanks again for he help. I have been going to the Lowes and Home Depot to sort thru their cedar, I pick up one or two at each store. total needed of the 4" x 8' are ~24 boards given a 75% yield.

The Western Cedar association website listing is out of date. Most of the list is out of business and the ones I called that were on the list do not carry it no demand. Closest was Dallas. Sorry I forgot to comment. Thanks.

I hope BearCreek works out for you.

You would think an Association would keep an accurate list of its members, distributers, sellers of the product they promote.

Sorry about the dead ends.

Good luck in your search.
