You were busy over Christmas weren’t you. I am sure that your grandparents really appreciated the table- I certainly know I would appreciate a gift like this.

That cedar has some busy grain don’t it? My wife and I found a red cedar log while hunting firewood while camping years back. Right now I’ve milled it and it’s being made into a large scale windchime for her. Such a pretty grain pattern but the smell could drive you nuts! Produced some nasty fine dust too!
Sometimes you can find some nice stuff in pallets and reclaimed wood. Keep it up!

Very nice lookin table yes …thanks so much for sharing …..
Is that the orig Tennessee RED CEDAR ?
We dont see much of that out here in the Pacific Northwest ..we have Western Cedar .but it is not as finely figured and much softer than Tennessee Red …
Thanks again ..
