What do you all think of using solid redwood linings

Post by Kevin Sjostrand »

What do you all think? I have this nice clear redwood that was not expensive and I'm thinking of giving it a try. 1/8" thick strips bent to shape, two stacked and glued together to the side.

I did the same only used Spanish cedar and 3- maybe 3/32-1/8" strips, made the sides stiffer than hell, also a lot more work/time than sawed kerfing, but looks so sweet.
