The Forestry Forum

I finally got to go pick up some ERC logs yesterday from the farm I bought my sawmill from. The owner of the mill had cut them down and started milling them and then found out he had cancer. He died about a year later and I was able to buy the mill from his family. Part of the deal was I could get the logs. I am planning on taking a few of the logs and making a bench out of them for his family to put at his grave.

That would be a very nice thing to do.

Looks like a good load of cedar, and a wonderful gesture on your part.  I'm sure the family will appreciate it.  Keep us posted on how things are going with the mill.

Remembering the family is a wonderful expression of appreciation.  It will give them a sense of knowing that the sawmill and logs went to the proper person. 

Often a tree is removed from the site of a fatal accident then a bench is made from the sawed wood

I had not heard of making a bench from a certain tree like that, but now I think that to be a very nice thing to do.

There are so many different things one is exposed to on this forum. Thank guys for bringing up those other points of view.

Class act!!

That's a great idea. :)

A very nice gesture.

Hope I never build one, or have one built for me.  Very thoughtful idea.
