2 Cedars

[Forest2Furniture]

I milled a couple of cedar trunks this week in a clients back garden, only slight problem was he had them dropped onto the footpath between the flower beds!

One was a Cedar of Lebanon 3' in diameter by 10' long the other was Deodar 2'6" in diameter by 10' long.

 

Stacked to air dry in an unused part of his garden.

I admit it, I'm OCD when it comes to stickering.

 

But I see it like this, if you make a nice job then it wont be an eyesore and it'll will be a talking point.

 

I get a lot of jobs in domestic gardens where people want a piece of furniture making from their tree, so my price for milling includes the cost of the stickers as well as time for stacking.

Top work, i completely agree with you, almost like a temporary work of art in their garden.

Will you leave the stack like that, or cover the tops? What do you use for stickers? i just cut a load out ofa few offcuts of18mm ply, but only coz it was waste.

Nice to see that I am not the only person who is utterly OCD on stickering - it's something that gets commented on each and every time I have furniture makers or other sawmillers looking at my stacks. Worth doing, certainlly!

The stack will be left as is, the ends will be sealed with a mix 50/50 PVA & water, no need to cover the top because the planks are stacked as they came off the trunk the water will run off.

 

Stickers should always be made of softwood so as not to leave a mark on the planks, I rip down 8" x 2".
