In 2018 got into a gold mine of Yellow Cedar so have been putting under cover as space becomes available, Yellow Cedar can sit outside in the rain for years an not rot !
It burns way better than red cedar very tight grained and burns about the same as Douglas Fir . Yellow Cedar is a high altitude wood and is found at about 4000 feet above sea level or higher and only grows on the coast. Yellow Cedar is popular in Japan for house foundations as it does not rot when used below grade .
Nicely done, glad you have all that and it can stay out and not rot. I know Granny sure appreciates that wood and you too.
Nice work Allan! Keep giving the ole heart a workout. Your whole body will appreciate it in the long run.
Great stuff there CI! Love the smell of YC. Local lumberyard carried some for a while even shingles. Done a few WRC roofs but not yellow. Is this the same you harvested from those railroad timbers? Love the custom wheelbarrow btw. I have a wheelbarrow chassis hanging around. Maybe ill do something similar.
Ive learned the hard way WRC doesnt last in ground contact. Never knew that about yellow cedar. Another thing ive learned on here!
Yes the railroad ties were made from Yellow Cedar , you can see some split in half on top of the wood pile.
Did you just replace the tub of your wheel barrow with plywood? Thinking about modifying my own nice job Sent from my LE2127 using Tapatalk
I was at Granny's moving some wood today and got you some better pictures of 2 different styles. The one on the right is the first one I made. It is more stable but because the wood is back off the wheel, it takes more effort to lift and move around. The one on the left is a little top heavy and not as stable, but with a lot of the wood being over the wheel, it takes a lot less effort to move when loaded up.
pretty nifty there Allan. I like the idea of it over the tire. Maybe ill remodel one of my two wheelers for that purpose. And we thought they were just shelf brackets! 1.9 thumbs up!
Geez, ya see wheelbarrows out on the curb all the time...usually just a "damaged" tub (I say "damaged" because its often just a lil crack, or a flat tire, maybe a big dent...still perfectly usable with a lil TLC...or being converted into a woodbarrow )
