Red Cedar, Sources in SF Bay Area.

[UCS308]

I am looking for some rough 8/4, and 4/4 Western Red Cedar for a set of Gates I am building. Most of what I need would 6 inches wide with about 8 linear feet being 8 inch wide. total required is just under

100bd.ft, it needs to be clear.

Any ideas on good suppliers of Western Red Cedar in the SF/San Jose bay area.

In San Jose I found:

Southern Lumber Co

1402 Monterey Hwy, San Jose 297-9663

Plywood & Lumber Sales Inc

442 N 4th St, San Jose 288-7257

Squires Lumber & Fence

809 N 13th St, San Jose 971-9663

The last time I was in SJ Southern Lumber took pretty good care of my wood needs - good enough care that I'd suggest calling them first (Other than as a past customer I have no connection.)

If you're in SF proper, there are others - including a few like Caldwell's on Bayshore Blvd who sell used lumber (might save you some money if you're going to paint it anyway)

I've heard good things about: Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co, Brisbane, CA

a mention at

:

Brisbane: Van Arsdale Harris is around Sierra Point. They seem to specialize in very large slabs of wood, some local. A place to get Port Orford cedar, Alaskan spruce, etc. in lengths up to 24 feet or so. Has probably been in business for 100 years.

Southern does not sell Red Cedar.

These guys don't stock it. But can order it.

I'll give these guys a try.
