Looking to buy rustic, white cedar log furniture for an outdoor deck. Looked at some at a local manufacturer and sat right in some sap. The chair had been treated with Sikkens, is it normal for white cedar furniture (aged or new) to produce sap? How long or often? Any tips on safeguarding? Thanks.

I have the plans but don't know where to get the wood. I have asked at the local home improvement stores but they dont have it. I want to make a queen or king sized log bed.
