Ribands

Building a 12 Goeller dinghy. Bought some cheap cedar and ripped for ribands. Too knotty. Any suggestions?

Cannot see them bro. How about a photo?

Assuming that you're refering to ribands to bend frames to on the mold and not stringers that are structural members;

Look through the framing stock at your local building supply and get a piece or two that have sufficient clear material to do the job. The wider (2x10) boards often have clear edges, and you'll wind up with a 2x4 or 2x6 from the center of the board as scrap, with little or no waste.
