I found a scrounge of Yellow cedar at about 3000 feet above sea level got about 2 1/2 cords from these logs ! The woodshed is divided into 4 quarters each row being roughly being 1/2 cord . An empty quarter . First load in . Second load in. Third load in. Fourth load in . Last load in .
Very nice country. Good job CSS. If you get bored you can run around on that hill and drop some stumps. Personally I wouldn’t last three seconds up there LOL
Great job, and that’s a lot of work there! Very impressive haul. I don’t know anything about yellow cedar though...
Is that the same as Alaskan yellow cedar campinspecter ? or a different species? Ive used them for roofing. The bundles smell divine when damp and opened. Ill bet this smelled good too.
Cupressus nootkatensis - Wikipedia It is very fine grained and is rich with oils. It can sit for years uncovered in the elements and not rot and burns hot, but does not fair very well when stored in salt water where it becomes a Teredo's (shipworm) favorite food.
thanks for the link. Great read and very imformative. Ive worked with it a couple times and liked it. Red cedar is my favorite stock to work with.
Nice Allan. I'm wondering about the conditions when you do most of your cutting? I'm guessing it does not get too hot there? But for sure you have to feel the humidity.
I have had perfect conditions for cutting cloud cover broken a nice breeze no bugs and humidity 50 to 60%.
Boy it is nice here today. After the storm it cleared and the temperature in the 60's. Strong wind will help dry things up nicely. Mosquitoes are happy and numerous.
That first photo is amazing, the gray of that cedar is so uniform, it seems like you photoshopped a black & white and a color photo together. I would love to have a few loads of that stuff but not for firewood - cedar shakes and lumber for me!
