[Woodcarver] help on outdoor sign project.

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

Hi all  I am doing an interesting little plaque.  A bunch of guys  I know all 
go fishing up to a remote part Canada for a week a  year.  a few months ago 
one of the group was on vacation in arubu, laying  on the beach, when a palm 
tree broke in two and killed him on the spot.  Really!
they are commissioning a wooden sign to honor their friend and will take it  
with them and attach it to a tree where they fish.  I think its a nice  thing 
and want to make them a real nice sign. It will be somewhere around  14" long 
by approx 8-10 inches wide, maybe 1.5" thick. possible shaped like  a fish 
with incised wording. I understand cedar to be the wood of choice  with pine 
being next for outdoor signs.  I have no experience carving  cedar.  If anyone can 
advise me as to where to look for this size piece of  cedar or if anyone has 
any other suggestions please share this info with me as  this must be 
completed in early spring.  Thanking you in advance
