My contractor (on a renovation I'm doing on a rental house) brought me a cedar log from some hunting property he has, to the south of Rabun County, GA. It's about 8 feet long, and probably 10-12 inch diameter. The bark has all shagged-off, leaving just the wood, which is still wet (I would usually say 'green,' but with cedar, 'pink' is more like it.

Here it is:

I'm thinking this could make some nice natural-edge bowls, with a lot of color on the bottoms. What do you think?

What other ideas might you have, for this wood? Any particular problems to look out for, working with cedar?

Thanks.
