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
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 297-9663Plywood & Lumber Sales Inc
442 N 4th St, San Jose 288-7257Squires Lumber & Fence
809 N 13th St, San Jose 971-9663The 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.
Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co 595 Tunnel Ave Brisbane, CA 94005 415-467-8711[snip]
Southern does not sell Red Cedar.
These guys don't stock it. But can order it.
I'll give these guys a try.
