I have come across an old redwood bar that I have since taken apart and begun to work on. The biggest piece is the piece I am most excited about as well as the squared looking piece. I am going to list the problems I have with the pieces and then the questions I have.

Problems
- The pieces have this terrible resin on them that is hard to remove. I destroyed the back of this piece and am planning on using the opposite side which is just as good. However I want to remove all this junk to have a nice finish.

- On this bigger piece, I have a really cool live edge that I am planning on utilizing, but I need advice on getting rid of the rot and cleaning it up IMG_5143.jpg
- On the smaller square piece I have a cool live edge and am interested in making prestiene.

QUESTIONS
- How do I remove the resin
- How to I preserve my life edges
- How should I progress through sanding
- A lot of the pieces have a natural curve on the surface, should I make them all perfectly level surfaces? or keep the natural curve.
- Please trow any ideas you have at me. I need advice and tips to help make this project killer.
Below is the stack of wood from the leftover bar. Ideas are welcome.......
