Title: eastern red cedar boards?
Post by: TimothyR on October 29, 2014, 01:17:18 pm

Hey guys im doing a project for my wife that involves erc closest liner (tung and groove) some of them look pretty good and will have some left over.  There not long and about 1/2" thick. But I was thinking of a splice and a hickory back.  What do you all think will I be wasting my time?
