I just bought my first Alaskan Yellow Cedar today . I hope it's cheaper on the East Coast than out here . What's the cost on the East Coast and how many people use it on a regular basis ? :huh:

I use it strictly. It's about $105 for 25 3' 2x2's shipped. Can't remember what it was at a place about 60 miles from me. Figured I'd save the gas money and just have it shipped :doh:

In Jersey I paid $2.72 each for 2"X2"X4'. The yield is better when using 4 foot pieces.
That is picking up. No shipping involved, just sales tax.

Is the grain more consistent than in Red Cedar?

on select, you'd be hard pressed to any grain...number 2 is full of pitch/knots.

Time to switch....

Steelhead...I just turned some of my first AYC. Seriously, you may never turn Red Cedar again.

I bought 2x6x8ft boards and ripped them myself . It sells for $7.00 a board foot . I don't know how that compares with the other examples , but at $7.00 a foot I'm saving the sawdust . :p
That being said , it is incredable wood , no grain and heavier than red cedar .
I'm sold. :uhuh:

Bob what is the name of the place you bought your AYC at?

wow, I pay less than half of that here. Worst part of it is that it has to be shipped out here from where you are.
