Clear cedar planking

[16dcr91]

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place in southern Ont. where I could find some clear cedar to use for planking. I've just started my first renovation, a 1931 Temagami canoe, and I'm trying to find contacts who would be kind enough to help. Dan Rice

They've usually got clear, most times 6" wide and at least 8' long. I've bought quite a bit from them, nice stock and @ $5/bd foot its not overly pricey for retail considering its convenience.
If you need longer, although I doubt it for repairs, I've got a line on some up to 18' long that might just come available.
