Rough-sawn cedar has a natural, rugged texture that serves as the perfect canvas for creating decor that looks like it belongs in a desert outpost. Most people make the mistake of sanding their wood until it is perfectly smooth, which ruins the “frontier” atmosphere that the game’s builders originally intended. I am currently working on a set of wall-mounted weapon racks using reclaimed fence posts that already have some natural graying and sun damage. By leaving these imperfections intact, the final piece looks like a genuine artifact salvaged from a high-stakes capture point during a long-fought match. It is all about preserving the history of the wood to tell a better story within your living space.
