[Woodcarver] hi I am in need of a few answer

[Joe Dillett]

Yes Bill, what Mike Parker said.

Aromatic cedar has it's own oil and really doesn't need a finish. A sealer
might not stick to well to the red cedar because of it's own oil.

Butternut will take any kind of finish.

I always shy away from painting, but that's just me.
