Default Red Cedar queston

Note the poster was talking Interior, thus my comments about quality
of finish. As an exterior trim it is an excellent choice.

Red cedar is the main wood I use for window trim. If you look after it. It
will last forever.
I favour Simi transparent stains as it will turn grey after 6 months in
weather unstained.
Havn't found an exterior clearcoat that lasts longer than a year. Some cedar
coloured simi transparent stains look close to natural.
Easy wood to work with and does smell nice.
