you might find some in lebanon but it is illegal to cut them down and the ones that die they use them for carving sculptures

Oooops, sorry.

I had to prune this thread as dkhoury35's response appeared seven times. Unfortunately, in my jet lagged state I made the mistake of deleting the original question from 'makrisd1'

His or her message related to a possible source for Lebanese cedar.

With apologies.

No problem Greg!!
My question was where can i find cedar of lebanon...
I know that these trees are protected... I am looking for cedar of lebanon for cretan lyras tops and for other musical instruments!!
I am looking for a long time but i only found from United Kingdom.. It was klin dryed and the grains were not so vertical to the blanks...
Thank you!!
