We took down our old tool shed which left us with a whack of 3rd grade old growth cedar that the lumber yard was having a hard time giving away. I was thinking firewood or fencing when one of my clients asked me for a bench for his outdoor shower.
I selected one piece and ripped the wane off on the table saw and thought, "Hmmm... edge grain!". A pass or two through the thickness planer uncovered a beautiful piece of wood with lots of colour and variations in the grain.A couple of hours later this cute cedar bench emerged from the remnants of a demolished shed, a handful of screws, and a few coats of poly-urethane finish.
