I live in Fort Bragg, Calif. Redwood Country...I checked and a 14' 2x6
runs
about 25.00 or about 1.81 per ft.

Now I am jealous. That's slightly cheaper than my knotty cedar. I considered
composites at one point, but that's horrendously expensive around here too.
You'd figure that with our wonderful Canadian north, there'd be a
reasonable, fairly price supply of wood, but there certainly doesn't seem to
be, not in Toronto anyway.
