need help finding some wood

[bcc2011]

Hey guys does anybody know were I could get ahold of some yellow cedar 8/4 and some macassar ebony. The lumber I've found isn't very good quality.

I got some really tight Alaskan yellow cedar a few years back from someone on ebay, I cant remember off hand. But he would hand pick it and it was really nice. Reminds me,  I need to make a few box calls

Have you tried a woodcraft store for the ebony? I see they have three in Colorado.

Yea I actually have a woodcraft less than a mile from my house. I just picked up some macassar from there yesterday but I had to pay a great penny for it. As far as yellow cedar goes there is nothing out this way.

Let me call a local hard wood place and see if I can find some. How much do you need?

There are some guys from AL in another forum I am on so I am asking for some help to locate some for ya.

Id like to have the yellow cedar thick enough to make box calls and just a couple boardfeet id be happy with doesn't have to be much.

Here is one of the only places that sells it by smaller board lots.

I found a guy in Alaska that may be able to help. Is rough cut okay? what length boards do you need? If he can help out I may be able to put you in direct contact with him.

[bcc2011]

This is exactly what I am looking for, thanks for your help sharxfan

[sharxfan]

If the sizes are n't to big then he thinks he may be able to get offcuts for cheap from local sawyers. What length do you need? if it is small enough he may be able to put it in a USPS flat rate box.

[bcc2011]

Anything around 2x2x12 to 3x3x12 will work. Pretty much sizes that will make box calls, I checked out that website and it looked like they had the sizes I am looking for

[sharxfan]

How many pieces do you need I think my fellow forum member may have a line on some wood he can send me.

[bcc2011]

Just 3 or 4 pieces for now, I havent tried yellow cedar yet so I want to see how it will sound before I make any large purchases. What kind of price am I looking at

[sharxfan]

He hasn'tmentioned a price yet but I will ask.
