Re: cedar slab carving
Those are great. Do you mind telling how you finished them?

Re: cedar slab carving
Kind of new here and a long time lurker. I will be getting my first CNC shortly. Pieces like this I absolutely love and look forward to making. Im just curious on how long you let the wood "season" or dry before you carve?
Thanks in advance.

Re: cedar slab carving
I cut them and stacked with strips between for about 2 weeks. They will crack some. I also had a guy tell me to cut the logs about 3 ft long and pain ends with latex paint and it will dry quicker with no cracking have not tried this yet so if anyone does let us know if it really works.
