Peeling Cedar




When I discovered how easy it is to peel a cedar tree between May and Sept, I found the way to a rustic, wood-working style. Peeled posts, rails and spindles are everywhere in my log home.
Cedar that has been sanded or draw-knifed does not expose the natural texture of the tree. Here are a few examples of how I use peeled cedars. Gotta go peel!!!

The staircase and railing are so beautiful. Please keep posting your wonderful cedar creations! Those tables should be great at craft shows this summer!

I have a big cedar project coming up and I will post pics as I progress. Just have to get started.....and peel some more trees. It has been rainy and not real warm, garden is slow, racoons are getting in, too. Fawn in the field yesterday...
