I have a lot of storm damaged Cedar, I wanted to see what I could do with it and whether it was good enough to sell. I chainsaw milled the wood the week before Memorial Day and kept it stickered and covered until I planed it last month. It's been hot here but there was very little end checking. The wood did not cup much either. The project is a pantry for the kitchen and is glued using biscuits rather than dowels. No nails yet but I'm not a purist. Still have to make the shelves, hang the doors and seal it. The doors are 12" wide planks. The planer is a 13 inch Grizzly spiral.
