				red cedar for pencils & needles?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		Ok, its early june and I already need to make more pencils & needles.  Guess I was slacking last winter...  I have 2 bundles of that nice red cedar from plugfest,  do you guys think red cedar is too soft for pencils ?  Will the constant hook swing chew em up worse that AYC? 
 
I made some floating needles from pine and I've noticed they get damaged a lot easier than my ayc or maple needles.  I need more floating needles and I was also thinking of using the red cedar for this application too.... 
 
Maybe I need to epoxy seal the blanks to toughen them up?
