[Woodcarver] re conservation need

[Ray Mighells]

I thought you would be swamped so I held my tounge.  The Pacific Northwest Totems were typically carved in western red cedar or Alaska yellow cedar.  Both are getting expensive.  I would presume that eastern white cedar would be as durable for outside use.  Black locust or any wood used to make fence posts would be ok.  Clear finishes on these woods only retards the appearance of the aging process.  Hope this helps Ray M
