Welcome to our latest video where we continue to work on our two-story Japanese style garden shed! In this episode, we’re adding cedar soffits to the back of the shed to give it a modern and professional look. But before we can install them, we need to plane them down and apply a tung oil finish to protect the wood from the elements. We also take the time to carefully miter the corners for a seamless appearance.

Watch as we demonstrate the step-by-step process of adding these soffits to the shed, including some time-lapse footage to show you the progress we’ve made. We’re thrilled with how the end result turned out, and we think you will be too!

Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to our channel to see more videos like this one. We’d love to hear your thoughts on our latest project, and we’re always happy to answer any questions you might have. So join us as we continue to build our dream garden shed, one step at a time!

  1. The difference in cedar color could be fresher boards, as they dry and are exposed to air/sun the color will fade. Or it's a different kind of cedar. Typically pickets are western red, but occasionally you'll get a coastal cedar board which is darker, more purple in color, with straighter grain and fewer knots. It's the good stuff! Oh, and the really light part is cedar, it's just more sapwood, one of the first cut off the log

  2. I’m really enjoying this build. You guys are doing a great job. I’m building a treeless treehouse for my boys and stumbled across your channel. I’m glad I did.
