I know they are not in your neighborhood, but might try getting a
quote for the strips with shipping from this outfit:

The wood I have bought from them has been top quality.

I need redwood and cedar, I need 20' lengths by 3/4" thick. I have saws,
routers, planer. I wanted to use both woods for effect. I live in northwest
WI. Thanks much for the advice so far.

I am in the process of building an Aleut Baidarka sea kayak. I got the
plans
from Nick Schade, considered an artist when it comes to building "crafts".
I
have the forms completed and I'm ready to start stripping the hull. I am
unable to find a place to purchase the wood from. I checked before I
started
this project and I was assured by three places that they could provide the
materials for me. So I did research the issue I am facing. Any assistance
would be greatly useful.
