Hey all,
I found a whole bunch of long shavings of cedar in my shed this summer. The previous owner of my house was a wood-worker (custom built solid oak kitchen cabinets for the house). He didn't leave a whole lot behind.
Anyway, when cleaning out the shed of all the old 2x4's, plywood, and so forth he had left behind I found a ton of VERY thin cedar strips. They are rough in quality and taper on both ends - it seems like raw wood with like 1/4" planed off into shavings, but both sides are rough so I have no idea what it came from.
Anyway, I don't know the exact origin of this stuff and it is sitting around other pieces of wood that were used outdoors - i.e. pressure treated
Right now I've got about 30-40 pieces of this beautiful cedar sitting on my kindling pile - but I'm hoping someone can reassure me that cedar is pretty much never treated with anything that would make it unfit for burning.
Thanks all,
Joe
