    Default Finishing Western Red Cedar

    Hi,

    I'm making a chest of drawers with the insides being made from WRC. How should I finish them (if at all)?

    Regards,
    Mike.

    I would leave the internals bare.
    WRC is aromatic and will keep moths and silverfish away.

    Thanks Bob. That was my instinct as well. I just wanted to see if others had done something different.

    Regards,
    Mike.

    a wattyl stain under to give the timber a good lustre then on the exterrnals Wipe on poly several coats with good 600 grit sanding between coats
    How I would do it , but the internals , natural timber as echnidna says keeps the moths away,. and smells good as well
