Cedar of Lebanon - What do you know?

[R12chard]

The big house at the top of the Hill has had a branch break of with the weight from the recent heavy snow in Kent, England. The Wood is Cedar of Lebanon and the branch is about 2 1/2 feet wide. Can anyone tell me if they have worked any of it and how it finishes for bowls and the like?

I look forward to your wise responses.

Many thanks

Richard

The cedar of antiquity - supposedly what Noah built the ark with.

I have some, works really well and is easy to use, very pleasing cedar colour when aged and has an absolutely wonderful fruity smell.

How long would you recommend drying before using and does she split easily when turned wet?
