what finish for cedar?
Have a deacon's bench that I've lined with aromatic cedar t&g. The cedar is
smooth surfaced but unfinished. What finish, if any, should I apply that will still allow the cedar aroma to be there?. I was thinking a simple coat or two of shellac. Thanx! Vic -- There are 10 kinds of people - those who understand binary and those who don't |

what finish for cedar?
I lined a chest I built recently with aromatic cedar, the tounge and
groove closet liner type. I wasent planning on putting a finish on it. I asked the Home Depot paint people to be sure, they also said I shouldnt but a finish on it. I didnt, and was happy with the way it turned out - mostly because it was the closet liner type - ie already sanded, no splinters, etc. |

Don't finish it, just the raw wood so it does it's job against moths. The oil is sold so it, the poison, can be replenished after drying too much, and going into wool from the wood. http://stores.ebay.com/Something-Cedar -- Alex - "newbie_neander" woodworker cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

If you seal aromatic cedar, it goes from aromatic to colorful shiney.
Always leave the aromatic stuff unfinished. After a few years when the smell fades, sand it down with a fine paper, vacuum up the dust, damp wipe the dust and it will smell all over again. Pete |

I see the point. Unfinished it shall remain!
