There is no reason for a stjore to say, "We just can't get good cedar any more," Ken McClelland, executive director of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Associatist, maintains.

"The(e is still an abundant supply of well manufactured and graded, good quality cedar products," he says. "They come in a wide range of patterns and sizes and often bear the same grade name as other cedar poducts that sell for $50 o $100 less."

The difference is the producers' cmrmi0nent to quality, he adds. He suggests a buyer get to know "the supplying mills, their grading aSency and fiber supply, tben turn a few loads from various mills" to get a higher quality product that does the job right the first time.

Including your customers in this evaluation process can be beneficial, McClelland concludes.
