Hi,
I'm Bob, i live on the North Coast of NSW. I have recently acquired a fair amount Australian Red Cedar, it was cut down and milled in 1992, so well and truly seasoned.
I am interested in finding out more about it, how i can work it, and any tips would be of great use.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I will be putting the timber in my rack tomorrow, but before i do that i will number, measure and photograph each piece, as a catalouge of what there is, so i know how much there is.
There is no doubt i will be seeking guidance on how to do justice to this wonderful wood.

392682 Hi, I finally got the wood in the rack, dodging all the rain.
Here is a piece of it that has been planed, i think it is very nice, its size is 1425mm long, 280mm wide and 45mm thick.
I now have many questions and where do i put them on the forum?

I now have many questions and where do i put them on the forum?Welcome Bob. Depends on the type of questions. Best way is to have a look through the home page at all the sub-forum categories, and choose from there. General Qs about the timber itself go into "Timber".
