Cedar contains irritating sap and aromatics. Pine much less, but still there (taken a wiff of PineSol?) Fir or hemfir or spruce would be much less problematic. The most important thing is to have it properly kiln dried -and smell it- if its pungent or sappy then get something else. If you want to be absolutely safe then spend the bucks on poplar.

i like stuff that sounds/looks pricey...

i also like looking for whatever scores i can find as far as "scrap wood" After all, if it can be built, it can be disassembled and rebuilt into something else. :P

i find the goodwill and salvation army stores we have to be a valuable resource for wood products that people don’t really appreciate, and give away cause they thing its junk. Its amazing the finds you can find when you know, or have someone with you that can identify a wood by its grain.

I once bought a solid oak dresser (even the drawers and backing board were solid planed slats) for 14$

the wood alone would have cost me over 300$ due to its dimensions and being solid wood. (the top alone was a 6’x20" solid sheet.) Around here, trees dont get that big no more.

I truly can wait to start bulding this thing. Im getting such a mental image of how this viv COULD look, its driving me mad. haha

Hurry up snow -- start flying...daddy’s got some building to do.
