Is there a source for 5/4" (actual thickness 1") cedar
It's for an outside project and it can't be treated.
I'm not understanding your question.
5/4 lumber by definition is 1.25" thick but it can be planed down to a true 1" thick (4/4).
I'm avoiding 5/4 (1") treated pine from Lowe's.Why? Nonetheless, you won't find any of those wood species treated.
I don't think he's open tomorrow. And I was hoping to not have to drive down there for such a small amount. I've met Scott and worked with him on an occasion. He's a great guy.Mike
Have you checked with our own Scott Smith down in New Hill (quartersawnoak.com)? He usually has a huge stock of red and white oak. I have also picked up Eastern Red cedar from him.
Great guy and will treat you very well

Well, I guess I'm confused. If a 1" board is 3/4", I thought a 5/4 is 1". A 5/4 x 6 x 8 at Lowe's is 1" thick. What am I missing?

Thanks, Henry. It looks like I may have to find a good source as several people have placed their "orders".Mikle
It won't help for this weekend, but Capitol City Lumber carries all of what you mentioned. It is not a popular choice here on NCWW, but they often have a selection that others do not. Dimensioned wood products will not be cut for you unless you buy the entire piece. S2S lumber will be cut as long as 6 or 8 feet are left to return to stock (depends on whether it is domestic or exotic wood).

Well, guess what. It appears you made this one. I can't buy the wood for your selling price. I need to get a few of these from you.In my spare time I volunteer here building blue bird houses. We normally build, or should I say assemble 1,500 in a morning. We do it once a month. All our house are made out of either 5/4 pine (stair tread) or 5/4 cypress planks.

That's an admirable undertaking and bluebirds are fun to have around the yards and gardens. Who saws/dimensions the wood that you folks "assemble" with nails or screws?
I've built a few bluebird houses and prefer 5/4 cypress. We usually have a pair or two producing 2-3 broods/summer. What fun, and they're pretty friendly birds too.
