how's it going folks?
I am making a decorative piece which will consist of small aromatic
cedar cutouts being glued to a poplar board. Some of the pieces might be
positioned cross-grain. What concerns, if any, should I be aware of in
doing such a project. (btw the cedar, and the poplar are both .5 in thick)
thanks for any feedback

You'll probably be fine, but how wide is the poplar, in relation to the cedar
cutouts? Tom

It's a percentage. Less dimension, less total. If you're interested in
woodworking, learn about your material at http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/ with
some of the prepaid literature.
Use PVA glue, it creeps.

Thanks for your response.
the poplar is a 22 inch glue-up. the cedar pieces rang in size from 1 -
8 inches.
