    First Cedar Box

    Well I think my first cedar box is a disaster. The tails in my joints were breaking off, and it did not go together as well as expected. I used the jig I bought from Woodline; http://www.woodline.com/p-1825-route-r-joint-precision-dovetail-joinery-system.aspx at the Charlotte...

    Cedar barrel duck call with bloodwood insert

    Thought you guys might enjoy looking at my recently finished double reed duck call. I used cedar for the barrel and bloodwood for the insert and cut my own reeds. Needs a couple more coats of finish however.

    Red Cedar Logs

    We build some cedar swings, and I'm seeing opportunities to buy ERC logs. My problem is, I have no idea what to pay for them. How do you guys (sawyers) price cedar? Is there a rule of thumb for buying logs? Thanks in advance for the help. :notworthy::notworthy:

    No doubt ERC is beautiful fresh off the planer, but it's brilliance soon fades if a finish isn't applied quickly. It turns from a bright red, purple and white to a brownish tint heading on it's way to gray. I have a rather large outdoor ERC project I need to finish. Although I am dead set...

    A lady from Durham has contacted me about building a cedar chest for her and I don't have the time. The only hitch is that she wants to use the wood from a log that has been felled in her yard. The log is big enough (according to her description of it) and the wood would dry quickly. It just...
