Hey all, I just got back from a huge learning experience.. getting cedar is a little more involved than I thought ;)I'm gonna add a couple photos to this post so you can see what its about, it's pretty cool.

I need to know if anyone interested in some nice cedar tops for a group buy, I have 195 nice tops I'd like to move. The color/grade/grain will vary slightly but I've been told it's all 4/5A stuff. I don't need any real commitments just a feel for demand. I want to move all of them for $15 + the shipping cost(no packaging cost or paypal percentage costs)I'd like all payment to be via paypal (or visa/mastercard with paypal) just to speed the whole process along.

Lance those sets & the maple I promised you will go in the mail this week and you should have them friday. I'll fed ex or express post them your way so maybe you could throw some sample shots up?.
I wanted to get them out a couple weeks ago but this cedar trip was forced on me last minute ( I literally had like 2 hours notice, I got the call at like 10pm friday night I was leaving sat morning )

Well thats all for now photos to come

Jason,

I'm interested. Your in Canada too. Thats a plus for me. Its sure hard to beat that price. I would probably take at least 3-5 sets. Have to see what the cash flow is looking like in the next week or two. For that price I wish I could buy a bunch.

Josh

Well I am sending samples to Lance tommorow so hopefully he can get some pics posted this weekend. I know there is a little bit of a mix as far as grade but it is supposed to be 4-5 ( they were sample sets for a much larger order ).. I'd bet there is a mix between partially high 3s and 5s and mostly 4s but you'll be able to judge for yourself when the pics go up.

Ten. Thanks for the offer Jay. The chopper shot is incredible. Can you tell me the location? I like to document where my wood comes from for future reference.

I'm not even really sure where we were We drove from here to vancouver, took a ferry to the island, drove to the northern tip of Vancouver Island (Port Hardy) then took a boat for.. I think a couple hours, I fell asleep. The shots from the air are from a small plane on the way home, the weather was too bad to boat out.

Arrrggghhhhh...you go away for an evening and look what pops up!
If you aren't oversubscribed already, I'll go for 10 sets if they prove out to be in the grade range you expect.
Thanks!
