Which wood to use?
I'm going to build a garden planter stand to hold dirt, trowels, etc.. It
will be outside year round. Also, want to build a couple of " Jake " chairs. What would be the best wood to use for both? The chairs will be covered in the winter with a tarp but not the stand. |

I'm not a woodworker per se, but I grew up in a family where such projects were common. I very much like red cedar for such stuff; raw, unplaned (but treated) cedar for the planter, and properly finished and treated for the chairs. Not sure about warpage, if it's all properly treated. |

Redwood would be my choice for the planters. I made up some some years ago, big enough to hold those plastic inserts you get at the garden store. Make sure to have drainage holes -- 1/2", at least. I'd use redwood or cedar for the chair. |

Would Sasafrass be good for the chairs? Nice looking wood, s'posed to be
good for outside. "Edwin Pawlowski" wrote in message .com... "Jimmy" wrote in message .com... I'm going to build a garden planter stand to hold dirt, trowels, etc.. It will be outside year round.
