Redwood Lumber

would you consider making your own 3/4x 2 1/4 redwood flooring if you could get the rough lumber for 1/3?

Redwood flooring, I can get rough sawn lumber for .33 a board foot opposed to $2.60 cut with tunge and groove

I agree withe the first comment, Redwood is soft, and will dent.
This is not your question. If you have a large band saw, jointer planer, shaper, heavy,(preferably a cabinet model) table saw, then go ahead. After buying blades, and bits, (assuming you can resharpen your own), you should save about $0.50 a linear foot. Redwood often irritates people physically. You will want to wear tight fitting long sleeves, trousers, and wear a dust mask. Eye protection goes without saying.
