Out Door Cedar Bar

Great job, just finished working with Cedar. Got a be careful with the sawdust, it really messed up my sinuses until I started wearing a mask.
Looks great.

That looks pretty darn good!

When does the Bar open? :)

This is really a beautiful piece! I love it. The cedar is beautiful and should go well.

Really nice. I will remember your problem with ceder dust as I would like to use that wood in some projects if I can find some around here that is not from a big box store. grrrrr.

Thanks folks,

Joe, I think a christian tea toddler bought it, so it will more then likely be a cool aide bar.

Karlson, I gave it to the Pastor 2 years ago, I think they sold it at a silent auction (you write in your bid),
I have no idea what they got for it.

Randy, all the wood was from a big box store. The 4X4’s were dripping wet, so I had to get new ones from the hard wood guy, otherwise: The rest of the wood was really dry. Our hardwood supplier charges about 5.50 a board foot, the big box store came in around 3.50 a BF. The big box store here also sells the cedar rough as true 4/4 stock. With the cheaper wood you just try to cut out the loose knots, and with the remaining you just try to have
the less knotty side facing out. If you notice the one chair it has a huge knot that fell out of the leg, I had to pick that knot off the floor and epoxy it back in place at a later time.

Last friday I got some western aromatic ceder from my dealer. it was 2.40 a board foot. They don’t have a huge selection of wood, just a Mom and Pop operation. And the closest to me without driving 58 miles to a big box store. I haven’t found out about any others around here. Oh, they are about 5 miles away from me.

I love the bar!

I have the issue of Wood for this. Might have to tackle it myself.

Looks great! Just wondering what type of cedar?

What issue was it in?

I know I’m alittle late on this, alot late, but I just found this after reading your post about This Old House. Congrats by the way. I love this bar. I was wondering if you have seen it since you built it. Would love to know how it weathered. It looks great and I think I need one under my cabin in the future.
