    I think that if you buy from someone with a high feedback rating then the odds of you actually getting spanish cedar when you order it are high. I bought a BIG plank for about $26. Realize that Spanish Cedar is actually Cedrela odorata which is not actually a cedar but is really a mahogany. True Cedar is from the genus Cedrus rather than Cedrela.

    I know, it's a total geek thing but as a woodworker you just learn this stuff by osmosis.

    However, instead of lining your cooler you may want to try something like these cedar trays That would save you the time and labor of having to make them yourself.

    Love your work shop. I have a nice little workshop in my basement but I dont spend alot of time in there anymore. But I have to tell you your work shop would be one hell of a jam room/home studio

    Thanks Quint. But you should see my jam room Although the last several times we've had jams at our house it was warm enough to just hang out outside by the pool. Not any more though.

    Well, I don't have a photo of the big room where we jam. But here's my music room/office. Remember, since I teach music everything you see is a write off.





    On the wall at the moment is an Ibanez MC300 Musician electric guitar with a Roland guitar synth pickup, A Breedlove dreadnaught, a Breedlove mandolin, a Deering Goodtimes banjo, and a dulcimer that I built.

    On the bookshelves I have all my guitar, mandolin, banjo, and dulcimer music cataloged along with all my Acoustic guitar, Flatpicking guitar, and Fingerstyle Guitar magazines. Just barely visible are some of my sci-fi books, a full shelf of Poker books, TWO shelves of chess books, and my reading chair.

    I pretty much live in this room.
