Hi Kenny, I have a guy a short distance who is selling cedar. I assume it is not kiln dried or anything.
Do you dry your own? any hints?
Would the cedar make good board kids bows? maybe with a backing?
Thanks for any info, Ron

Hey Ron, I am lucky enough to have a buddy who kiln dries lumber. I'm not much of a selfbow builder,but I'd say it would have to be backed with something. I've got kiln dried hickory if you need it.

I love cedar but always back it, especially if kids will be using it.

Looks like a great haul.
I have one word of caution for you . That Expanded polystyrene insulation on the wall of your shop is EXTREEEEEMELY flammable and needs to be covered.
Once that stuff lights you probably wouldn't get out the door before the smoke had ya killed. A hot enough spark from a bench grinder could light it.
