Before jumping into a major TF project, I want to build a tool/garden shed, approx. 10'x10' and was considering using western red cedar for a few reasons: it's cheap, and it's light enough to handle myself. Since I can't really find any references to this species in any structural engineering references or in any TF books, I thought it was either because it wasn't suitable for the typically larger timber frames, or that it wasn't suitable at all for any timber frames. I have quite a few 6x6 rough sawn cedar timbers that finished nicely to 5.5x5.5 when I ran them through my planer. My goal is to have an aestetically pleasing garden shed that looks like it fits in the Japanese landsaping rather than the cheap shed kits from Home Depot that'll probably cost me the same.
