I have tried more expensive pva type glues (titebond and Lee valley glue) and the problem is much worse. I regularly glue up blocks of White pine, Mahogany, Sapele, and Poplar, the Cedar is the only wood I have had a problem with. The Cedar boards are used in an industrial process that glue colour does not matter.

2004年5月26日 · I have used polyurethane glue successfully on Western Red Cedar on outdoor projects. No problems. Your joints must be tight and clamped at least overnight. Polyurethane will not fill gaps, and the foaming action will drive apart unclamped joints. I've never tried epoxy.

2008年1月12日 · I’m in the process of restoring a Lane cedar chest probably made in the 1940’s. It has been exposed to a great deal of moisture. The bottom of the chest is presently many pieces of 5/8 red cedar with a cedar veneer on the inside of …

2024年2月27日 · It’s light, strong, good looking, and very resistant to decay. Just be sure to avoid the creamy sapwood, which does not have the same rot-resistance as the darker heartwood. Do that and you can skip the finish, letting the wood weather to a nice silvery gray. I used 3⁄4-in.-thick cedar throughout, but 1-in.-thick material would also work well.

2003年7月17日 · Port Orford Cedar, if that's what you have, is a very nice cabinet-grade wood. That's good stuff, you're lucky if that's what you have. Can't remember if that one's a true cedar (Help, Jon!). But the soft wood with the aromatic smell that's commonly sold at lumber yards as "cedar" is good for outdoor furniture. It is surprisingly strong.

2009年6月6日 · It’s western red cedar; re-sawed out of old utility poles. I’m almost finished but I ran short on material. I need to buy just a couple of boards from home-depo to finish it. However the rough cut cedar from depo is only rough on one side. SO…. How to I Make rough cut cedar from smooth cedar? I know it’s a strange question.

2021年2月26日 · In this case I started with big 16-in.-dia. pots (actually a tad bigger than 16 in.) from my local home center. The planter boxes are beyond simple: just roughsawn cedar fence boards screwed onto square posts hidden on the inside. I broke my cedar rule and used pressure-treated wood for the posts.

2002年9月20日 · Cedar posts tend to rot off at ground level before the buried sections do, but this usually takes 20-30 years. Hand peeled posts will last longer than sawn or machine peeled. Jeff

2011年7月26日 · Most humidors are constructed of Spanish cedar, with linings composed of the same species. Spanish cedar has a lot going for it when it comes to the housing of fine cigars. First and foremost, it’s an incredibly stable wood, able to stand up to the extreme difference in relative humidity between the interior and exterior of the box.

2006年6月25日 · By Red cedar, are you talking Western Red, or Thuja Plicata, or Eastern, Juniperus Virginana. I have never tried either, but The juniper is very brash, and I would not give it very good odds. The western cells are so long, thin and hollow, that while the wood may soften, it is more likely that the cells would just wad up and deform rather than ...
