A friend of mine had a couple of large cedar trees cut down. A friend of his has a portable sawmill and cut them up. As a result, I will be getting some untreated 1x12 cedar boards for free.
I'm not much of a carpenter but I've mastered building medium hive bodies using rabbet joints, glue and screws.
Will cedar split using screws in a rabbet joint? Should the boxes be painted or oiled or anything? The lumber is straight from the tree and not kiln dried or treated at all. I've never worked with cedar before.
