tbphotos Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just saw an ad on the 'Free' section on Craigslist, also right here in my town, who has a bunch of 3/4" cedar planks, 4 1/2" wide by 3 1/2 to 4 feet lengths, he said I can take as little or as much as I want. Going to pick them up later today. Might be good for some intarsia work, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Free is always good! Great find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 You could always glue them up in wider widths. I really like working with cedar except when it's time to sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 The cedar dust can be irritating. Smells great but generates a lot of sneezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'll have to keep that in mind if i ever work with cedar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyscroller Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 It also has a lot of pitch in it so it tends to clog sandpaper faster especialy on drum sanding. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
