I am looking for some rough 8/4, and 4/4 Western Red Cedar for a set
of Gates I am building. Most of what I need would 6 inches wide with
about 8 linear feet being 8 inch wide. total required is just under
100bd.ft, it needs to be clear.
Any ideas on good suppliers of Western Red Cedar in the SF/San Jose
bay area.

I've heard good things about: Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co, Brisbane, CA
a mention at http://tinyurl.com/2946k :
Brisbane: Van Arsdale Harris is around Sierra Point. They seem to
specialize in very large slabs of wood, some local. A place to get Port
Orford cedar, Alaskan spruce, etc. in lengths up to 24 feet or so. Has
probably been in business for 100 years.

If you're in SF proper, there are others - including a few like
Caldwell's on Bayshore Blvd who sell used lumber (might save you
some money if you're going to paint it anyway)
