Since I’ve been reading the forums for the past couple days, I got thinking. My brother who happens to owe me a favor (MWUHAHAHA!!!) is an exceptional cabinet maker. I’ve been contemplating having him build a cabinet for me and or a Havana footlocker. He has access to all sorts of exotic woods. I’m thinking maybe a purple heart cedar laminate. He can use the scraps from work so the cost of the material is nil.
Now bearing this in mind, is there any real difference in spanish cedar and regular old everyday cedar? The regular cedar he could get for free the Spanish I would have to pay for. Considering that we are talking about a fairly large amount of wood. Is it worth the extra for “Spanish”?
I am sure this question has been asked already, I apologize for that. I have searched and haven’t found the answer. I’m sure it’s that I am not using the search feature correctly so please excuse this newb while he learns.
Thank you,
Jim
