Cypress supplier in New England?

Stephen,
Am I missing something here? Eastern white cedar, $1/BF at the local
mill, is rot resistant and looks great year after year with an annual bleach
bath. When in Rome.... I guess I am curious why one would use lumber from
away when our back yards are full of a great alternative.

You might try Highland Hardwoods in Brentwood, NH. Their website does not
list cypress among the species they carry but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I
did see some in the Woodcraft store in Manchester, CT last week so I assume
it would also be available at their store in Newington, NH outside of
Portsmouth or their store in Woburn.

Well if you truly mean New England, I know of at least two. Harris
Enterprises in Manchester CT and CT Hardwoods Group in Enfield, CT. I'm
pretty sure Downes and Reader in Stoughton MA has it also. I bought some
earlier this year and paid about $3.50 a foot for 4/4
