    Finishing Red Cedar and Cypress

    Anyone have a good suggestion as to what to use to finish ERC and Cypress for outdoor use? (Swings, outdoor furniture etc.) Would like to keep the natural look as much as possible with little to no "gloss." Any experience with any of the Thompson's Water Seal products?

    E. Red Cedar Finish Suggestions

    Folks: If any of you have experience with a good finish for red cedar for the outdoor environment, I'd appreciate your suggestions/experience. I have some red cedar swings we are building and several people have asked how to preserve the "cedar look" and what type finish to use. Thanx.

    Square Red Oak Plate

    Thought I would try out a non-round project for a chance. It came out good, and I believe that the next one may be bigger. The wood is Red OaK which I milled from a tree myself and dried. The biggest challenge was getting the corners sanded properly while it was spinning on the lathe.

    This view of the bottom does the best job of showing off the grain. The corner lips actually turn downward a little and I had thought it would be interesting to accentuate that on the next one.

    I started this out between a spur and live center, flipped it and put it on a chuck to hollow the bowl side. The biggest challenge on this was getting the corners sanded properly through all the grits while it was turning. They really wanted to grab onto the sanding stick and take it.

    Square Plate

    I had watched someone turn a triangular piece, but figured I should maybe start with four corners before going straight to 3. The wood is a 6" leftover scrap from a batch of Red Oak I harvested, milled and dried myself a few years ago. Pieces of this wood are somewhere between birdseye...

    Red Oak Hardwood Floors vs. Big Dog...

    We bought our house about a year ago and had them put a couple extra coats of polyurethane on the hardwood floors hopefully to protect them from our 75lb golden. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to have done any good, when I do get this floor refinished in a few years, is there anything that I...

    Red Palm Blank Disaster

    :-( Tried my hand at turning Red Palm last night. The project was supposed to be a Mont Blanc pen. Had my doubts about this wood when I cut the blank to size and it started to peel off long splinters (I use a Compound Miter Saw to cut to length. Went ahead and glued it up the tubes. I then...
