Red Cedar
I have been making metal lip swimmers out of Red Cedar ballisters. Cost $1.95 per 3 foot stick. Is there a problem using Red Cedar that I should be aware off? I haven't seen anyone talking about it and it is, cheap and readily available. Seems to turn real well and holds the finish well also. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks  |

piemma, works good but just soft so teeth stick it easy etc. Can see grain lines etc in the plug sometimes too.

Salty:
Thanks for the reply. I have noticed that the stock is very soft. I will try and pick up some AYC. I hear that that a lumber yard in Taunton/Rehobeth has some.

Thanks for all of the answers. I am going to pickup some AYC tomorrow and turn a couple of Dannys. BTW, there are still fish in RI. I posted a pic of a 19lb I got recently in Narragansett.

Fish came from Great Island Bridge, the inside. I fished the Channel this morning with no luck but I stopped by Sprague Bridge and there were Blue Herons there picking at bait.

Paul, Liberty Cedar in Kingston has AYC ballisters (1-1/2 x 1-1/2) as well as rough cut 2X if you want to rip, if thats closer for you. I'm doing an addition, and needed to order clapboards --- inquired about the AYC and got a sample. Not sure of price for comparison.
When did you get the fish? I need one bad  |
