Cypress sounds cool. Cutting the bedwood and finishing was the most rewarding part of re-doing my truck so far. When done, it was fun to know that the pile of boards came to the house as just that...a pile of boards and an afternoon of work turned them into something nice looking and functional. I did Pine with the thought that someday, I can upgrade if I want.

Post pics of the cypress when you are done. I would like to see them.
