I found a board of " Eastern red cedar" at a lumber yard that was almost 2 feet wide X 2" thick X 12 feet long!
It was cut dead center of the tree so on either side of the pith there was a quarter sawn section with no knots that was around 8" wide trailing off at the edge.
The let me buy a 2 foot section which I resawed and got 8 sets out of.
Really pretty stuff seems like it will make a nice guitar.
