Can you pick this spanish cedar up locally like at Loews or a lumber store? Or is it something not usually kept in these type of stores?

In our area, the big guys don't carry it. You might see if you have anyone in your area that advertises specialty woods or even a specialty woodworking tools and supplies type place.

Specilty wood shops are a great source. The only problem most of them do not sell finished all 4 sides wood. You have to have the machinery to plane the boards to thickness and size. I buy 150 to 200 board feet a month and that is the way most suppliers sell it.

What I get is what we call S4S (square four sides). I just tell them what size I need, i.e. 3/4" x 3-1/2" or what ever and they give me exactly that, dressed on all sides.

Cool, i'll definitly look into it. I was looking for a couple of pieces to use inside the humi so it wouldn't need to be finished.

Thanks! :smt028

Christofer -

Try Tim Hartmann (xrundog). He is a very skilled builder and restorer of humidors, and may have some sources for larger quantitites.
