Cedar "name tags" for Bible School - Wild Turkey - 05-31-2017
LOML did it again -- I got volunteered to make 200 of those cedar name tags for my church.
Big question is do I need to use a dead/dried piece of cedar or will fresh-cut work? LOML is worried about sap seeping.
Anyone ever do anything like this???

Fresh cut can be pretty wet, so if color is involved you may get bleeding onto clothes. How do you plan to do them, stencil, router. magic marker? You will be tired of name tags after the first hundred, maybe the Wife is just giving your patience a test

All I've got to do is cut and drill them -- others will do the lettering, etc. LOML knows my limits

Eastern red? Stands in the woods at ~33% MC. I'd make 3/8 thick blanks, dry for a week or two - hour or two at 150 in the oven - and make a pass at the surfaces with a plane or belt sander. Good enough. Or, if they're going pigment rather than pyro names, maybe they'll look better rustically rough.

Just found out I have until Sunday to get them cut.

Does not compute.

Sounds like it's time to buy some aromatic closet lining.

If you buy them make sure you are out in the shop working up until Sunday morning and then bring them out. That way she will thing how hard they were and you made it just in time or the next time it will be 1000 to make.

Found a poplar branch under my big tree and chopped it up. Maybe not be quite what the "camp counselors" had in mind but will be done in time for "camp"

I heard said one time that beggars can't be choosers, seems almost to apply here, once you get past that church thing. Of course the bible is full of beggar lore, so it probably is appropriate.
Poplar they be......
Have ya given any thought to what you are going to do with all the spare time ya have until Sunday
Sorry, couldn't resist.
