Years ago I rescued a few rustic-looking barn boards from a Bracebridge landfill site and, after I made a four-plex or two, my wife placed one on our wee front porch.
Though I really like the original design I recently modified it a bit; now I make three-plexes that look almost identical.
Because quality barn board is hard to come by, I have resorted to planed (on one side) cedar for the last few weeks.
I like working with cedar as much as barn board, and after coating it with linseed oil (and a titch of maple stain), I like the final appearance a lot.
In fact, I now say, ‘cedar - one, barn board - no score.’
What do you think?
