I am in the process of tearing down an old shed here on "the farm". I have been saving the lumber for future projects. What I am really wonder is, what to do with the beautiful weathered gray, chalky red (15%) cedar siding!!! It is of random lengths and 6" wide. Hey, I even found an original label on the backside - Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Co., Maltese Cross Brand. I know there are outlets for this "stuff" in the metro areas and were I closer I could probably sell it. But~I'm thinking of using it in the shop (some of it)! What would you folks recommend??? Also how should I go about "preserving" it? I was thinking of paint thinner / BLO through a gun. I would greatly value ANY input and also promise to post a pic in the future upon application.
