I would have a table top out of that middle section 

They will all be available.  Price will be very reasonable....ish...!

 

I would like one for a table, but they are a bit big for my dining room.

Got a big Cedar of Lebanon in my yard yesterday.  It is a monster so I will need someone to mill it for me.  Widest point six feet or thereabouts.  Nothing too long though but I guess it will be a couple of days or more hard work for someone with the right kit.

 

There are three really large pieces you can see in the pics, and two smaller bits all over four feet diameter.

 

It can be done during lockdown no problem as it is a quiet yard and I will only get involved to help move the logs and lift off the slabs with forklift/telehandler.

 

In fact if someone wants the job who is not in this area they can park their camper or van in the yard overnight to save travelling.  Fresh water and toilet available.

 

Anyone fancy a few days in the beautiful Wentwood Forest to distract them from the madness going on everywhere right now?

 

Foookin hell boy. that's a beastie of a tree you had there.

 

count the rings first mate...

Yeah I wish I had known the tree when healthy it must have been quite a sight.  I have counted the rings - it was planted in 1893.  As old trees go just a baby.

No worries Mark I will post pics of the slabs here anyway.  Of course they won't be seasoned but Cedar of Leb dries really quickly.

Make a great table mark, I would use that as the top and different timbers for the base
