I recevied a small piece of port orford cedar from michael of the olf . I used it for bracing I find it stiff and vy light .Looking online there are a number of lumberyards in oregon that sell it. Does anyone know what the going rate for a 1/4 sawn 1 by 6 or 2 by 6 piece is ?. Also a recommendation for a seller . The luthiery places are high $$ thanks |

I buy port orford cedar oil from http://www.rosecityarchery.com/ Great for cleaning inside of box, fretboards. I don't think they sell wood, but bet they could help you figure out who does. |

It can be hard to find outside specialty suppliers and pretty rare even with them. Last time I stumbled across some I think it was around $15 a board foot ... maybe? It's been a few years and I can't say for sure. That was at Crosscut Hardwoods in Seattle. Just checked their inventory and they don't show any in stock currently. Personally, I think it's wonderful wood and worth searching out. |

I would contact Les Stansell at http://www.stansellguitars.com/. He is a luthier who processes lots of wood. He may have tops and brace stock for sale. I have bought from Dave Maize also, he carries POC and redwood tops - really nice stuff. I did a google search for Dave and he doesn't have a website anymore. I'm not sure how to contact him. My first stop would be Robert Cefalu at http://www.rctonewoods.com/RCT_Store/. Check out his website and call him if you don't find it online. Anytime I feel the need to spend $$$, Uncle Bob usually gets first crack at my cash. Good luck with the search. |

Port Orford is one of my favorite tone woods, and I've dealt with Vince Strauss of Pacific Coast Woods on several occasions. He's a great person to work with. In addition to top wood, he also sells POC as dimensional lumber for boat building. That might be what you're looking for. |
