Several other odds and ends from the leftover wood. Trimmed out my man cave cabinet tops, man doors and built my range hood in the kitchen from cedar as well. Invested in a table saw and tabel top planer as well, they have paid for themselves 10x over id say.
This is what I used as sealer/protectant
Old timer that used to own kenmar lumber here in NCMO advised me it would help hold the rich red color of the wood. been pretty happy with the look.
Long Story short, I had some big a s s cedars in a 3-4 acre section on the back of the farm. Once I saw the quote on the 8x8 timbers I wanted for my big covered patio on the back of the house I got creative. Cut down 32 sticks, limbed and skidded out with tractor and hauled to the amish to mill...
