After perusing Craigslist in my search for wood bargains, it finally hit me that the best deals in my area is eastern, since it's plentiful within a 300 mile radius of my home and nice, air-dried boards are often found locally for less than $1 pbf.

Aside from the obvious cedar chests and outdoor furniture, what are some other good projects for ERC?

Thanks!

I love cedar, armiors are nice, I have a laser engraving business and make a lot of memorial crosses out of cedar. I make a lot of small novelty signs, but I also like the normal indoor furniture out of cedar (end tables etc.) Cedar is a beautiful wood finished or unfinished. Use your imagination and I am sure you can come up with some very nice ideas.
