They make some really cool cookies too Dave. With logs that size you can get some big ones. A little retirement side business maybe???
Same cedar used in cedar chests and closets. Its actually a juniper even though i call it cedar. Juniperus virginiana - Wikipedia
Eastern red cedar should had it cut up into lumber. The red will last a long time for outside projects. There's poles down the creek from me that a marina put in 50 years ago and the still there today.
Yeah you are, It used to take me 5 to New London on a Good day! 8 if there was an accident on 95 which usually happens on Friday at 1600 when I was leaving...
I believe its red cedar. Love burning it in my fireplace. Burns hot with bright flames and pops like crazy.
I'd never go get cedar for firewood. But I had a big western red cedar cut down last month and I'll be burning a bunch of it next season. Even after giving away as much as I could, I have over a cord of it stacked up.
