Here's another good cottonwood thread I started a month or so ago.

Very nice woodwork, jrokusek!  I need to build myself one of those hanging tool cabinets.

We're planning on just planing it, hanging it, and clearcoating it, if it looks as good as we hope it does. Some better pictures of cottonwood air dried would sure be nice to see.

We are also thinking about running some through the woodmaster and making beadboard for a cieling or two.

Get your MC as low as posible and use sharp blades or it will tend to have a lot of tearout. Quarter sawn plains best or at least has for me. Also may tend to fuzz when sanded.

Thanks for the pictures Striker. I love that soft cream color for interior siding. I will show the foreman. I know she will like it as well.
