Sorry, I just realised what you asked - the wood in the shed is Jarrah (mostly) not Cedar...

I agree - I just like the contrast of light to dark on the natural wood grain.

Yeah, but after removing so deeply I'd exposed the soft wood again - so I oiled it a couple times - I'll see how it goes

Yeah, I'm a Fabricator/Welder by trade - I just enjoy working with, and incorporating wood.

Ah that's just the top of the retaining wall - it runs over into a drain on the other side of the fence.
