You know, it's funny to think about what wood works well outdoors when all woods are (were) outdoors, but...
I'm in Western PA fairly near Pittsburgh. I've got a couple of outdoor projects in mind and am deciding on what to build them with. If you have a suggestion and you're local, do you know where any is available? For example, Rockler carries cedar but I'm thinking more 4/4 size not the thin stuff they offer. Also, what about using something like Trex? Say for a bench?
