At the end of a sub job for the power company, we scavenged some beautiful bits of Bermuda cedar from the undergrowth. They had fallen on a drop line to the local rectory (turned out the pastor went to school with my hubby a million years ago).
We took the logs (two 4'x 12") to the mill for a price to cut them to 1/2" planks for boat seats and transoms. We were all dressed in out fluorecent shirts and chainsaw gear, the mill boss pointed to a tree that had fallen up against the mill shop and was all over the roof...'how would I get that down?" he asked.
I'll do it for you right now I said, trade you for the milling and planing...
DEAL.
Done and dusted in about an hour and a half, off we went with over $1000 worth of lovely milled cedar!
