That turned out real nice. Like to see the piece that Josh took to finish.

finally got pics of the cedar....we went to NC on vaca and we lost the recharger plug-in - I dug for it this morning, found it and charged it just enough to snap a few pics. THis is with 2 coats of Enviro-Tek (sp?) Lite pour-on coating.

THis is the first time I've done it and it turned out decent I'd say. It's nothing like aggiebutchers work though. Keep in mind this is the exact piece I milled, not sanded, not planed....just wiped off. It had a bit of a corkscrew to it (rookie miller :) ) so the coating ran down the edges a touch - it'll need sanded, but will definetly be a conversation piece/ nice bench when I'm done I think.

Makes a guy think real hard about a mill, but I never see any ceder that size. I don't think cottonwood would look as nice, and know p#ss elm wouldn't.

I have a large Cedar to drop this winter that the power company topped. I figured on having it cut into 5/4 but maybe a will go 12/4 and let it dry. What you did does look very nice.
