Hello all, Recently (last week) I went to the local Sam's club and on the way out spotted a couple chunks of cedar in the parking lot. Seems they had been tossed out on the ground. I am fairly sure they are cedar as I've wacked down several cedar trees in the past as well as recognized the bark. The 2 pieces are about 12" diameter and about 18" in length. One thing is rather puzzling though - they seem to be awfully lightweight. There is not end splitting and the wood appears to be drier than a popcorn fart. Now, how easily does cedar turn? Much problem with tearout? Any suggestions on finishing? Thanks.
