Cedar is sorta soft, but with that plate in the middle, you could tow a truck! Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!

Oak faired much better.

Now you are talking!! I have the oak from the bed of an old 41 ford. Thinking of maybe laminating some together and make something big and wonderful!! Gotta learn more about that sort of thing first though. This forum is a good place to learn. Let us know how you do!
