Is eastern red cedar ok for turning when still wet? I had a co-worker bring me a freshly cut erc tree earlier this week. I would love to make some weed pots out of it. The size is about what I need to start with. It has the usual cedar limbs that have been trimmed. I love red cedar and think the tree would make some nice weed pots. The places where the limbs were would make for some pretty contrast between the red and the yellowish color. Thanks in advance.
