Lovely piece of work there Bernie! Love the colour - what I call a "hidden treasure". Never turned Cedar, but I'll be keeping an eye out for any going spare...
Ill gladly hook you up friend...just find out about exporting rules and shipping..,. Ive got prob. 50 acres of cedar ..
Back to the OP .. I love it... When fresh cut and handled properly the purple hue is very common..I dig how you incorporated some of the sapwood too..nicely done
