Hi all--Nothing to show off--yet--but was hoping folks might be able to offer some thoughts on a suitable wood type for a project. We tend to buy a number of fruits and veggies that aren't suitable for refrigeration. I'm kind of tired of them sitting unorganized on the counter so I'm going to build a basket to hold everything. Something like this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCPiWgOX64OsCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD.
Here's my question: What wood do folks recommend for something like this? I could probably use anything that's cheap and somewhat durable, but I was leaning toward aromatic cedar. My hope is that it would keep the fruit flies away and promote freshness. Any reason not to use it? I've not worked with it before, but I can get it relatively cheap at my local lumber yard.
