So, a thread on storage containers got me thinking I need a new one.
So, here it is:
Attachment 740
I'm going to line the sides and bottom with spanish cedar. I'd line the lid too but it has a grid system. Heck, I might just cut the sp down to the right sized squares and do the lid anyway.
Figure I'll go down this weekend and pick up some sp planks.
I may know the thread that triggered such thoughts... ;)
Where are you sourcing spanish cedar? Locally it sounds like, but if online I would love to know your source!
For online sourcing this shop is hard to beat.

While I have gotten big boards (4" x 8" x 6') in the past off of eBay and split them down, this time I'm heading to Woodcraft which is close by. The big boards are economical for ripping wood but I sold my jointer last summer.Quote:

Checking for local hardwood dealers or lumberyards near you may also work for quality spanish cedar. I never knew how many I had near me till I started looking.
When I did my gun cabinet to humidor conversion I got all my SC from Bristol Valley Hardwoods http://www.bristolvalley.com/catalog.asp?prodid=293407
They will even cut to size for you and only charge for the amount purchased. I don't know how much you need but a good resource in general.
Agree - Bob is a great guy and will work with you. Done a few orders with him now and would highly recommend.Quote:

Cool thread, Eric.
