The tree has a lot of resin, which hardens when the wood is air-dried. Plus, I'll be using heartwood where there will be the most wear. S Hi Nic-

I built a spiral staircase with cedar accents and the softness of the material was a definite concern, is this something you'll address in crafting the built-ins? Nic Scott,
