The daughter of our closest friends wants me to make her a Hope Chest from real cedar. I hate working with the stuff because it gums up my tools and is so brittle. Therefore, I have never dedicated a lot of time learning to work cedar successfully. I am planning to use frame and panel construction for the sides - either flat or raised pane - haven't decided yet.
Would appreciate any pointers anyone may have about working with cedar. After all, she is our God-daughter, and I can't disappoint her.
Thanks for any feedback.
