15-20 rings per inch!! Wow. I "very" occasionally see that around here, mostly in Douglas Fir or Larch. The only redwood I have obtained up here in the great white north was a clear piece out of a wooden water reservoir that was damaged. I've still got it--never found just the right project for it. Its only about 3" x 8" x 4' long...
I probably won't use treated wood--the chemicals in it cause my wife and I some concern, so we probably will end up with plain old wood and take the necessary replacing every 3-5 years as a given.
We also are looking at this kind of setup for a raised garden and have seen photos of old freezers used as the containers for a raised garden. I believe they cut out the bottom and paint the outsides black or something so they don't look so bad. I have a couple laying in the back 40 and I think I have finally convinced my wife to try one...!! Some of those plastic dishwasher tubs that have been discussed here in the last couople of days sound like just the thing. too.
Jon.
