I'm not sure I am posting a question in the right place but the only place I could find to send an email. I am getting ready to side the outside of our home w/ featherboard that I will be cutting on my sawmill. I will be using your recipe for chinking and methods you have suggested. I am wondering what you suggest for the thickness of the boards? The wideness varies between 8-12 in. I will be using western red cedar. Do you suggest apply a proctective coat before putting the boards up? I wondered if the chinking would adhere to the edges if it had been sealed. What do you suggest using? Do you recommend using nail or screws to apply the boards to the wall? I appologize if these questions are duplicates. I have read thru your blog and didn't find the answers. Thank you for any advice you have and for such an informative site. I have just found this website and much useful information – thank you!
