I contracted a company to make me double sided spanish cedar plywood for the blank cedar boxes that I carry. I couldn't find it anywhere after a month of looking.

An alternative would be a mahogany as spanish cedar is really a mahogany and not a cedar at all and then make your shelving out of cedar.

Hope this helps

Good point! I'll check into Mahogany as well.

eBay has really good prices on Spanish Cedar Veneer! Never worked with Veneer before, how realistic is it to cover your walls with it?

Paul Just a thought but we recently had a new liquorstore open up here and it has a really nige 15x15 climate controlled room with spanish ceader racks on I think what is mahogany walls. They had a company put it in for you but I would be willing to pick up info on the company for you if you would like, they might be able to tell you a place to get all of the supplies you need.

This company has bulk Spanish Cedar and other exotic woods. I bought SC here in at least 12" wide planks and 7/8 to 1" thick. You will have to use a band saw to cut in half. They can plane it for you but you would waste alot of wood.

Call them for an extensive catalog of exotics.

M.L. CONDON 248 Ferris Ave. White Plains, NY 10603 tel: 914-946-4111 fax: 914-946-3779

You can also get 4 x 8 sheets of SC veneer

Ever hung wall paper.....probably impossible over dry wall. It also wouldn't give you much humidity control either as it would be so thin.

If your talking about applying it directly to the wall, it will be extremely difficult. Your best bet would be to use a hide glue and veneer hammer, IMO not something you want to be doing on drywall or existing paneling.

Veneer work is ALOT harder than it seems, you want to keep that in mind. If you are going to do wall panels you will have to adhere lots of pieces (I don't think an exotic wood like Spanish cedar would come with a paper backer and seamed into 4x8 sheets).

It may be cheaper to go the veneer route in terms of material, but if you are doing it yourself, by the time you add in what you feel your worth as a woodwoker is per hour, you will be much better off using solid material.

Having lived in Thailand for a couple of years I began to think about how the the traditional houses were built. The walls were designed this way just for the purpose of wood expansion and contraction not the mention the incrediable beauty. I imagine you could build something quite similar to

This would minimize the resawing and gluing up of planks.

Anyone have additional information to add to this Thread?

I am looking to line the inside of a fridge I am converting for the purpose of long term storage.

Currently I am leaning towards the 1/4" 4'x8' Spanish Cedar plywood available for $74.95 per sheet at the following resource: 1/4" Spanish Cedar 4' x 8' (Cigar Box Cedar).
