I noticed I posted a picture of a bunch of cedar I was sanding (https://macblaze.ca/?p=16471) but failed to  show the finished product. I didn’t actually take a picture of the finished/finished  project but I have one of it pre-staining.

A cedar shelf with a spot for tall boots above the middle shelf.

The kid wanted a new boot rack for his entry way so I bought a bunch of fence-quality cedar and spent a eck of long time sanding it. Economically it was a pretty goo… less the $50 for materials— but it was quite the investment in time.

Turned out ok I think.
