Hi,

Thanks for the compliment!

You are looking at two different kinds of wood -- the interior ceiling is VGDF ( vertical grain douglas fir) with a clear finish - essentially 1 x 4, T + G flooring attached to the ceiling. The exterior porch ceiling is western red cedar - and is a continuation of what was used at the underside of the roof eaves - 2 x 6, T + G decking, square side down. No finish was used on this ceiling. Walls are also wood - same western red cedar - but here we painted the walls and then scraped the paint off while still wet - makes for a kind of modified wash.

Thanks for the question.
