Red Cedar - Worth Felling?

Recommended Posts

A bloke I know owns some woodland near me and has asked me to clear some red cedar out of it. I'm yet unsure how many trees, probably around 50. Pictures of a few of them below.

 

My question is (actually I have loads of questions) is it worth anything? I can get it roadside and as I want to get into hand cutting I'd sure like the practice and to gain the experience etc.

 

So, is it worthwhile?

It's too far south for my old sawmill in Scotland, but I've spoken to quite a lot of sawmills in East Devon lately, so might be able to find a home for it here. 

 

3.7m the lot of it, down to 18cm TDUB except for the more fluted butts, where I would take a 2.5m length off first before going onto 3.7s.

 

Careful with your felling not to fell over other stems or logs on the ground. WRC is very brittle and will smash easily.

That may as well be a different language to me??

 

apologies for being a noob
