>I am building an exterior sign (first timer) and wanted to use redwood. I live in Massachusetts and can't find a source in the region. I have used woodfinder.com.
Am I barking up the wrong tree or looking in all the wrong places?

>That is a left coast wood so the right coasters may have to mail-order. Widen your seach area on woodfinder.
Since I live on the left coast (sort of) it is not hard to find for me. Some right coast woods I wanted I found on woodfinder ever to the point of seeing the exact board I was buying on screen.
Good luck.

>It's expensive here in Redwood country, too, particularly for clear all heart like you'd want for signage. Old growth recycled would be better yet.
Bring your good checkbook.
