eastern red cedar boards?
« on: October 29, 2014, 01:17:18 pm »
Hey guys im doing a project for my wife that involves erc closest liner (tung and groove) some of them look pretty good and will have some left over.  There not long and about 1/2" thick. But I was thinking of a splice and a hickory back.  What do you all think will I be wasting my time?

Marc did a build along with the exact same thing a few issues back. Great use of your scraps.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I made a hberc a while back,it shot like a demon until it developed fretts on the belly.my hickory backing was much to thick at a 1/4".
Some like motorboats,I like kayaks,some like guns,I like bows,but not the wheelie type.
