had some pretty stiff wind here in GA last weekend, and i noticed that 20" cedar had toppled in a local cemetery. i left a not on the gate, a guy called a while ago, telling me i could have at it. there is also a 40" oak that has been down for a while, but i think is still good. it has been supported off the ground by its limbs. i may take a stab at it, but i would have to cut it up into about 6' sections to be able to handle it.
i know a local guy that has a small band mill that i can take it to. i guess my question is this: what can i use cedar for besides lining closets or building a cedar chest? i know it is pretty weather resistant naturally, but i don't really need any deck furniture at the moment. should i just try to swap the saw mill guy for something he has cut already?
