What would you do with these? I don’t have a mill but have the opportunity to grab 10 or so of these cedar trees. What can I make without a mill?

sell small slabs for cooking or cutting boards
Cedar poles like those make very fine fence or garden posts. Cedar being rot resistant, you can plant such poles in the ground and get long life from them. Build a woodshed or similar structure with those. My woodshed is 5 large juniper (cedar) posts in the ground with the aboveground structure attached.
Cedar is strong wood relative to its weight. Nice stuff to work with.
Best to remove the bark first if you're planting it in the ground.

Sell them to the Mennonites or Amish. It's in demand
Hand strip the bark off, and use them for fencing or building a pole barn

Basically anything that will come into contact with water. But does not need to be exceedingly strong. There’s still some cedar longhouse posts 150 years old standing in the old villages.

I'd love to know how much actual cash those two trees would bring.
I've been trying to purge my property of Eastern Red Cedar because of the apple disease, Cedar apple rust (CAR).
As far as bug resistance, I find a lot of the rounds that I am tossing in the wood stove have what look like a lot of powder post beetle holes after a year drying on the wood pile.
