LOL, I actually thought about Woodshop when I took this baby down last night. It does seem a shame to use them for a trailer bed but It is light, weather resistant and pretty tough stuff, which makes it a real good candidate. Besides I have more where this came from, the other log is a Monster. I have four more in one of the hay fields that my FIL wants me to remove, they arent this big but they are still nice ones.
...thought I felt my ears ringing this past weekend
I had the pleasure of walking my oldest of three daughters down the isle on Sat, so been a busy weekend with friends and family popping in and out from all parts of the country, wasn't around much to jump online for very long at a time. The firstborn is always special... I was OK walking her in, but then when the minister asked who gives this woman to be wed, and I said her mother and I do, and I handed her to her soon to be husband, then she discreetly leaned towards me and whispered "I love you daddy"... of course I lost it then... as would any other Daddy. Was a nice wedding.
Hey... ceder makes great decking for a trailer, go for it. It's the lightest stuff around that also resists rot and decay to a degree, and thus every pound less decking means a pound more you can haul on that trailer. As I stated in another post, redcedar WILL rot though eventually. If you can take the extra weight, black locust or even better, osage orange does not... for all practical purposes, osage does not rot in that application at all... ever... and would probably outlast that trailer. It is pretty heavy stuff though.
NICE cedar log... we get them like that up here once in a great while depending on where grown etc, but usually not that large and check free. I understand cedar grows much bigger and better down your direction. Even in So MD where I lived for a while they had lots of huge cedars like that, and in some areas, pure stands of it 40-50 miles down below Washington DC area.
Great pics dusty, thanks for posting... yes my mouth is watering looking at them. Hey... water under the bridge
