Right now I am looking to special order some 8x8 & 6x14 clear cedar.... no idea what that is going to cost yet... at least I don't have to pay for it.
you can get #1 up here. going to cost ya though. although it wasn't that unreasonable when I was looking into it for a project I have. the biggest problem with #1 is it is normaly smaller lenghts or random ones so unless you want to pay huge bucks you order a mixed lenght load of how many board feet you want.
