Hey Cedarman!

[SwampDonkey]

I was planning on leaving it natural because I thought that is what you typically do for installations on closets and the like to retain the aromatic properties of the cedar.

Yup, that's the way it's installed.

Great job Jeff.

The Bathroom with it's included laundry closet is the only room in our house without a window. You shut the lights out in there and close the door and its dark in there! Even if you don't shut the door its pretty dark as there is no room across the hall from it.

I'm in the process of finishing up the shelving system. I'll tell you what, after working with this stuff from closetmaid.com I'll never build another solid shelf. What a nice system to work with.

That looks awesome Jeff. You did a great job of installing it. Will have to go see cedarman and get some of his fine wood. He is only about 2 hours from me and it would be nice to hve more cedar to work with in the shop. Not easy to come by in Northern Indiana.

You done good Jeff. I will not be showing Lorraine this thread.

She's afraid that the cedar aroma doesn't have a fighting chance against me.

It looks really nice, Jeff.  Nice work.

Yup, nice job for sure.    But my wife was looking over my shoulder when I didn't know it and now she wants some in her laundry room too.  Thanks Jeff.

The Cedar will turn brown with time and the smell will fade. a light sanding will bring both back.

We need to create a special section of the Forum that wives cannot read and get ideas from  .  That is very nice!

This was installed here in a bathroom closet 30 years ago.



The volatile oils (smell) do fade with time and the wood is brown now. Many of those pieces came off the same log, you can match up the knots and sapwood. I put some moth balls in there on occasion because I have a lot of wool clothes and goose down stuffed things in there.
