Anyone know a way cheap source for cedar or alder wood pieces that are untreated and suitable for planking?? North End preferred to South. Thx Wed May 28 19:06:53 -0700 2008 142209 allisonw 1 3729421 Hey allisonw, Check with a local hardware store that sells planking. Back where they fabricate the planks to order, there is usually a "remainder bin". Worth a look. The hardware folk can lead you towards the stuff that isn't treated.
