Some of my favorite wood to work with for outdoor projects, but lately I am looking at these planks and thinking they are just pretty pieces of wood, so I plan to use these to do some scroll saw projects. Should make some great projects.

Loved these cuts of cedar! Amazing color, little to no defects and no bowing!

Though I do like the fact that I can get cedar lumber at Home Depot, it is usually cracked, split, bent, warped, or has burn marks on it from a saw. Most of the time I purchase 2x4 cedar lengths.

I purchased two of these for the fascia boards on a new shed. I like using cedar on an exposed fascia board to help eliminate rot and these boards work for that purpose. The cedar also provides a nice, rough-grain look which added character to the shed. The boards were easy to cut squarely and didn’t splinter when cut with a chop saw. They were straight when I purchased them and were “bendable” to a certain extent as the tails of my trusses were not perfectly aligned. After they were nailed in place, I almost felt bad for painting over them but leaving bare wood would not have fit the rest of the structures on the property. Overall, I am happy with these boards.

My daughter asked for a cedar chest for her birthday. Having priced a few and seeing lower than expected quality, I decided to build it myself. Except for the 2x2 pine frame and the pine feet it was all done using this type board. It took some care making sure the edges weren't damaged but only a few out of each ten were like that. The boards were straight, not warped and the edges were straight cut so they all measured the same. (Picture of chest attached).

Just what I needed at an almost affordable price.

the wood is poor quality and too expensive. I had to look through many pieces of wood to find anything that was good to use.
