This old red cedar log.

[Earnest Riley Thornton]

Had a fellow looking for (2) 3x15x8 pieces of red cedar. We had found this old cedar tree a few weeks ago and cut it into (4) 8 foot lenghts. Pulled this 8 foot section to mill up. It is always interesting opening these old pieces. This one has moss growing on it and has been trough a few lightning strikes.

These are the two live edge book end pieces that the guy wanting to make a table top got.

We tought one of the left over pieces would make a good bar top or mantle. So we started the sanding/finish process.

It will take a little time to get it to the finished stage. Hope to have more photos at a later date.

Nice post.

Amazing to see such nice wood come out of such a poor looking piece of tree....

Good job!

Looks like a whole lot of eyes lookin' at me!

That has more eyes than a spider! That is certainly wood with character.
