Anyone ever try it? It is abundant and cheap here. Clear cedar, 2x6 (1 1/2 x 5 1/2), $7.80 a linear foot! Aspen, $2.50 a linear foot. Mind you there is a really nice dark 16 foot 2x6 that I might get anyway since I want a dark feature stripe, that would only show on the inside since I will pigment the exterior this time. That one board with taxes would be about $142.
Ever notice that a 2x8 is now 1 3/8's by 7 1/4 these days?
Hard to believe it is getting so difficult to find decent wood in a country that has more trees than people.
Mem, what size were your strips, like 3/4" with the bead and cove and how many strips did it take? I know when I built the first stripper the boards were all milled to 3/4 to begin with and after the bead and cove were on they were barely 5/8. Took almost 80 strips on that one.
