New member, my first post. I am thinking of building my first ukulele and have access to some very nice(20+lines per inch) incense cedar. It has sentimental value. Would like to use it but do not want ot devote a huge amount of time and effort to something that just won't work.I have read about western cedar topped ukes but have not seen anything on incense cedar. Any info on usability and finishing would be appreciated. I read somewhere that some people use lacquer instead of oil because cedar tends to soak up the oil. Also, any thoughts on the thickness of the top would be helpful. Trying to learn as much as I can before I take the big plunge and try building one of the charming instruments.
