[Woodcarver] seasoning red cedar

[Bill Smith]

hi mike:

I got a lot of red cedar from a good friend and I have
gotten it on and also off however what I found out
between the two was that the one with the bark still
on it was a lot easier to carve once I removed the
bark n as it had aired dried as well before I had
recieved it, as my freind brings it to me from va. 

I would say to keep the bark on its seems to be better
that way from what I seen from the wood I told u about
up on top if u are lookin to get rid of any let me
know

Bill
