    They nibble on the bark a bit, but I don't think they'll eat their way out...

    I didn't even think about portable jobs. That's a great service to offer. Most of the mills have closed around here so I'm sure there is a market for that. Anything having to do with wood is a lot of work. Good to hear your 14yo likes to work with you. Learning how to work is so important for the next generation.

    It's not mine, I'm just milling cants for them.

    I'm not sure what folks use it for, we don't use cedar for animal bedding because it's not good for composting due to the.... whatever it is that's in the cedar that makes it not good for gardens...
