Looking for Western Red Cedar in Maryland

May 06, 2006 8 Replies

I've got a request from the wife for a pegola project and called my local lumber yard, Johnson Lumber in Edgewater, MD. $2.88 LF for a clear 2x4 and $4.33 LF for 2x6. 8ft 4x4 clear posts we $34 each.



I was wondering if these are reasonable prices and what my alternatives were as far as retailers...or species (of wood, not retailers:)!



Thanks



Tim


Thanks Dave,

I never heard of this wood. Is it only in Maine? The price sounds right!

Tim

They have WRC at Lowe's. Not sure of the pricing and only in

1x.

No cedar of any kind in the Butler (Rt23) Lowes, nor the BORG next doors.

I want to make a very simple garden bench from cedar from a magazine

But I can't find cedar around NJ zip 07410

Han,

Call Frank Martin at Agincourt, 908 874-8234. He's in Hillsborough NJ, about an hour's drive for you. Last time I was there, he had several woods suitable for outdoor projects, including cedars and cypress.

You can also plug your ZIP code into Woodfinder

and see what suppliers are listed in your area. Its not necessarily a complete listing, but you might find what you need.

Art,

Where in Hillsborough?

I need some cypress myself.

Thanks

Gus, Agincourt is at 212 E. Mountain Road. Best to call before you visit.
