Topic tags/keywords: cedar

Was wondering how well Alaskan Yellow Cedar can hold up to the elements seeing as I want to buld a Adirondack Chair. The lumber itself is at a warehouse 5 minutes from my home and the prices are as follows:

4” = $3 per linear foot 1.5” thick

5-6” = $4 per linear foot 1.5” thick

Good? Bad?

Thanks
