Cedar is one of the species that has skyrocketed in price. A box of red cedar shingles has gone from 90.00 to 156.00 in two years... Our local yard is out of primed cedar clapboards, with none due in for ten days, and the factory was 100,000 linear feet behind orders....

Bid a mahogany deck, 1x4 decking, on a Monday, price was up 25 cents a linear foot by Friday.....and yes, it was the same species, cambara, that was quoted both times. (Yeah, I know it's not real mahogany, but it passes for it in decking for ten year now)
