A fresh pile of cedar for future projects

We cut some timber on a old homeplace of my mom's and I had the crew cut and skid the cedar on the place up for me tree length. bucked most of them into 16 foot logs and brought them home. There is one tree they missed but I will cut it down later. There are all kind of projects in those logs.

I'll probably add on to my fenced garden area for one thing.

Cept for the nails, cedar sure is nice to mill. Great whack of logs Don. I can picture you next winter in your nice shop building something from that cedar.

Nails aren't bad, it's the ceramic insulators they hold that get ya'. ;D ;D

Nice whack Don. And you don't have to saw them until you actually need the lumber. Remember that pile over at my Cabin? I'll be sawing a few this Spring.

Chuck,
They grow extra red cedar down there because they have extra red dirt. :D

Nice pile there Donk. If you let them dry before you saw them, get yourself a big fan to blow the dust the other way. Dry cedar dust is rough on your sinuses. Saws nice, makes fine lumber, works good, don't wiggle, shrink or split.
