That cedar is very vibrant. I'm guessing it will start to mellow out to a brown over time. Never used it myself.
Nice work on the boxes.

As these were the smallest Lowes had
later, I'll get some 0000 steel wool, and rub the box down...almost done...
RE: Boxes of Red Cedar - bandit571 - 01-08-2021
Steel wool has been bought....will be giving this box a good rub down....and try to get some better photos when done....
Then I'm headed off to rehab a few block planes.....maybe even go on a Rust Hunt?
Not much left in the scraps bin.....may have to lay in a new wood supply? 
Stay tuned..
