    Interesting because we don't think about shed security where I live.
    I guess now people keep fancy bikes and stuff in the garage.

    Cedar has always been expensive. It used to be for trunks, storage etc because of its anti insect properties.
    I'm just cautious with type and origin of the wood as having some time working with furniture found that African and Asian woods have the same common name but not always the same properties. Too much detail 🙂

    I bought a hardwood bench from managed Forrest.
    My sawmills friend said 'oh yes, they just managed to cut it down '😲

    This seems a good explanation about cedar sheds

    Personally I love the smell and colour.
    Redwood is also a good hardwood. 

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
