I went up to Wisconsin to help my father move hay bales for the Llamas yesterday. After a long day of hard work on the farm, he asked me if I wanted the cedar wood he has been storing in the basement for who know how long. Ends up he and my uncle chopped down a cedar tree ages ago, cut and planed it to 1" thick, but neither of them ever used it. The pile sat in my uncles garage for a while, then it moved to my fathers house. If I wasn't going to take it my Dad was gong to toss it all out.. the idea is horrifying to he, so I took it all. some where around 70 board feet of the most aromatic and beautiful cedar I have seen. Now I just have to make something out of all this.. and find someplace to store it. I am running out of room in my 1,000 sq ft place.. yikes.

I hate when I'm forced to take wood like that to save it from the dump ;-)) Too much wood in too small a space it a terrible thng we all deal with. You will get used to it ;-)) Nice haul.

What a windfall ! I could offer you my wall stretcher , but it's in use

You'll find a spot….throw out your coffee table and stack it in your living room for now. I anxiously await the cedar projects you post in the future !

I would offer to drive over and take your problem off your hands, but I am certain that someone you know
would really appreciate a cedar chest, and they do not take that long to build. Thank you for sharing and
making us wish we had volunteered to move the hay bales before you got there.
