After the demise of Northwest Precision Lumber, I’ve been gradually building up my capabilities of ripping scale lumber, mainly using eastern cedar from Michael… the guy who shows up at train shows… Sorry, I’ve no contact info, but he doesn’t do mail order.
Anyway, I was glad to see another source for western red cedar, which is darker, and maybe tighter-grained. Here’s his “store”,

I was short of larger cedar that I could rip down to 3/8 x 11/16. So yesterday (Friday) I asked this seller (Jim). He replied with an ebay offer this morning, $14 for 8 feet of the size I need, includes shipping. Went out today, and I’ll get it Wednesday. I call that service!
When I receive the wood, I’ll post on its accuracy, grain, finish, etc.
