A little off the forum topic, but I don't want to go join another on-line group. I was picking up some decking, for an HOA's painted deck, when this 20-footer (now 2 10s) popped out of the middle of the Deck A select (or whatever they were calling it) stack. I have a few customers with Craftsman homes, and this will work on a bookshelf door panel or the like. Any great ideas for finishes for redwood in interior applications, to show off that sort of grain? I'm not going to put this stuff on a painted deck, that's for sure.

Or maybe I'll start building ukuleles.

I am a sucker for a nice piece of wood.

I am the same way. I pull off boards like that and set them aside. I've got a nice stack of S4S Red Oak that I'm gonna use for a vanity. Its a beautiful thing when you're the guy who stocks the hardwood, get to pick off all the beauties...
