Now I am jealous. That's slightly cheaper than my knotty cedar. I
considered composites at one point, but that's horrendously expensive
around here too. You'd figure that with our wonderful Canadian north,
there'd be a reasonable, fairly price supply of wood, but there
certainly doesn't seem to be, not in Toronto anyway.

I'm *always* jealous.

10' of *1*x6 Western Red Cedar is around $70 here in the UK. And that's
not the good stuff, either.
