Acquiring Spanish Cedar

[crazyirishman]

I'm currently drawing up schematics to make my first humidor as a birthday gift to my father.

What does the online market look for Spanish Cedar? I'd only need pieces 4" thick...

Or is there a chance it could be acquired locally through either a big-box hardware retailer or a Do-It Best Center?

Thanks so much in advance.

CLICK! (http://bit.ly/z5nO7m)

Sorry, couldn't help myself.. I for one have never seen spanish cedar for sale anywhere (lowes, home depot, menards). I am assuming the internet would be your best bet...

Hey man, I respect the collective expertise of this forum more than I trust Google when it comes to cigars.

you can buy spanish cedar from them. i am wanting to turn a closet into a walk in humidor. I just can't get over the shipping prices... someday I will though!

Well thanks to Colin (ya douche! LOL) and the all-powerful Google, I found some in the dimensions that I'm looking for, at least from a thickness. I can deal with with other dimensional abnormalities.

But I will check that out, sir. Thank you.

He's a brother here on the forum, right?

I think I've seen his stuff in the For-Profit board.

yep "golfnut". I'm sure he buys right he may sell stock reasonable too.

Well if he's anything like the others here, he'll understand at very least.

Do you mean 4" wide?

Look to buy from lumber suppliers, not humidor makers...unless you want a big markup in the price.
I bought Spanish Cedar several years ago, I used Google search to find it. I don't remember where I bought it from.:tu

My local lumberyard ordered it for me, min order was 100 board feet, I think I bought 60 of it, he sold the rest. I got first pick of the lumber I wanted. I'd do it again that way in a heartbeat.

You don't need Spanish Cedar to do this.
