RS ,cedar contains a lot of natural oil. Oil and fine gold are not a good combination. Good Luck

Gold is oleophilic (attracted to oil). The effect of oil is that it can attract and float gold out of a sluice or pan (not a good thing) but it is actually used to concentrate and recover it in some flotation circuits used by mining operations. Its not likely that there will be any or enough oils secreted from the cedar to have any effect in your usage. By the way, pretty sluice.
