Good question . Most cedar is chipped for closet lining board around here and sold by the ton. There's a mill in New Market. As far as sawn Cedar, I know of no sawmill that buys it. I reckon there's just not a market for it. Most folks who want some boards take a couple of logs to a mill and pay the mill to work them in and saw them.

I'd love to have this one sawn , don't know what I'd do with the lumber though. I've never heard of a veneer grade Cedar but if there was, the one pictured below would go veneer. Not a limb on it till 30 ft high.

Problem with cedar is you never know what you are going to get until you cut into it. This one looks good though.

That's just about any hardwood too. If it's had a fire in it years passed it can look great till you cut into it. We bought a tract several years ago that looked great standing but lost a lot of White Oak butt logs . Old gentleman told us there had been a bad fire in it many years prior .


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
