    a simple hand sanding with some fine grit paper. Sorry to bother you with the suggestion.

    Problem trees are one thing but some of those looked like the tree may have been there before the septic system.

    The tree was there first. It was just a lot smaller in 1990 when the house was built.

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Could’ve made a nice shed out of it.

    It makes great boards ! I cut some with Brad a while back.
    Ugly on the outside but when you cut into it it is beautiful and yes it smells great !

    For sure. Go price CVG WRC (clear vertical grain) if you can find it at a lumber yard.

    I loved cedar when I had an open fireplace. It makes the house smell amazing and creates a lively, popping fire that makes the house feel extra cozy. With the low BTUs though I can see why people with stoves don't want to burn it.
