These are fine examples of using reclaimed lumber from various sources. Great job and the wood looks so awesome!!!

Very nice pieces and I love where they come from. I have not heard of a western white cedar. Northern white cedar and Atlantic white cedar and port orford white cedar I have heard of.

Your skepticism is warranted, western cedar I believe is actually northern Cedar My boss calls it western white cedar and when it comes to soft woods I’m no expert see’n as how 95% of the work I’ve ever done is with hardwoods.

Wow, these are really nice pieces of furniture!
Sadly all wooden telephone poles I saw here seem to be pressure treated. Otherwise, some people may have problems with their phone tonight. :D
