    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.

    DSCF1089 (398x640).jpg 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?

    Bob

    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".
