wabi, as you are aware if you've been reading the campfire mensa(s), I am as dumb as a post, and that's insulting to posts. I recently learned I also live in a t111 shack. How is not my job. I'm just the big pitcher guy. Little people do the menial stuff. LOL Aint nuthin wrong wit t111, lol ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Tw959sKT/678-FC3-CE-1013-45-A7-8-A07-A78-D72224094.jpg) That you can't fix with raw cedar ! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/y4OnxJB.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/7BaUCgQ.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/km7spdc.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/UerQzEv.jpg) Applied 2 coats of mineral oil since pictures were taken - Looks even better now, really highlights the grain & knotty character ! Nothing wrong with T-111 or cedar. The weather and sun are just hard on them down here and termites love them. Had to redo a nice T-111 shed at one of my properties a few years back. It's good to go now, at least for a little while.

The sun has really beat the siding on this place. I might get to it next year.

Cedar here is almost blood red. That'd be red cedar, this is white cedar, grows prolifically in swampy/wet areas here. If you can find a wind storm knocked down mature white cedar where I hunted growing up in Maine. They deer will eat that years new growth off the boughs down to the previous year growth line. Good place to sit on in Nov. Totally unrelated post to sockpuppets.... Just wanted some inclusion in the thread. LOL!!!! ( mandatory)

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Both red, and white cedar has an oil that makes the wood insect repellent, and stands up well to weather.
Paul, did you put a varnish on that?

How does hemlock hold up for outdoors? I have a line on some.

Hunter, a quick search says Hemlock is not so good as an outdoor wood.
Our white cedar needs frequent refinishing where the full sun hits it. That is in NW Ontario, the further south you go the less outdoor wood you see.

How does hemlock hold up for outdoors? I have a line on some. Hemlock holds up very well outdoors so long as it isn't perpetually saturated. It handles wet dry cycles very well, if it has an opportunity to dry out. All the old iconic black bank barns in Pennsylvania, parts of NY and OH (think Mail Pouch Tobacco barns) are sided in Hemlock. Hemlock is high in tannins and quite rot resistant.

I see there are big differences in eastern hemlock vs. western hemlock. Carry on...

Before this thread is over Roy will post up pictures...
B) Repeat pics of game harvested since his birth.
If I could back and kill them all over again to get you some photos from different angles I'd be glad to do that. Really enjoy your game photos btw. Since there aren't any.
