How do you keep cedar wood from seeping sap?

To prevent cedar wood from seeping sap, it is essential to properly cure and dry the wood before use. Applying a sealant or wood preservative designed for cedar can also help contain sap. Additionally, storing cedar wood in a cool, dry environment minimizes temperature fluctuations that can cause sap to ooze. Finally, choosing kiln-dried cedar can significantly reduce sap production compared to air-dried wood.
