I am a hobby woodworker, blessed(or cursed) with decent skills, and
a new found interest in learning timber framing skills.
Towards this end I have the oppourtunity to buy some good quality
salvaged 4" x 6" western red cedar beams, random
lengths, up to 16'.
I thought I might get enough to frame a small
project such as a garden shed or other small
structure.
With limited time to learn, before I must buy the
beams, I am turning to this forum for opinions
on timbers of this dimension, and their sutability
for my proposed idea. Many thanks.

PS I thought the cedar would be excellent, as I love working with
cedar, and this is a fairly rare oppourtunity
in my area to get cedar at a reasonable price
