Cedar boards

[Ant1972]

I have been milling 6x1 Cedar boards for my own use. Just wondering what I would have to pay if I had to by it in.

Thanks

are you referring to western red or true cedar.

Western.

i guess it would depend on quality and i don't know the price i'm afraid, i do know that it's not cheap.

I've got 40 cubic metres to cut next month, which is being sold as a job lot leaving my yard at about £310/cubic metre. At that price a 6x1 board would be £1.16 a metre plus VAT. Smaller quantities retailed rather than wholesaled would be more expensive, though I don't know how much more. My price is for fresh sawn also.

Thank you for your replies.

Hope you don't mind me tagging onto the end of this thread but does anyone know of a reasonably priced source for cedar or larch shiplap or halflap? Ideally British timber. I'm based in Gloucestershire.

May be too far for you but I bought some waney edge larch from CO2 timber near Langport in Somerset. I think they only deal in larch and wr cedar, good product and reasonably priced

Try woodgate sawmill in the Forest of Dean....
