I rarely venture out of the turning forum over here but I do flat work, too when I can tear myself away from the lathe. I got this batch of Cedar from a buddy who was building a barn and had to cut down the trees...1 1/2 years ago.
I finally went and picked up the logs about six weeks ago, took it to the mill a few weeks later and picked up the lumber this past Friday. It's 595 bf of mostly 4/4 stuff with some 6/4, too.
I cut 50 bf into 4' lengths and stacked it in my shop. The rest, I stacked and stickered outside. I'll use most of it making blanket chests since I can sell as many of those as I can make it seems.
Oh yeah, I've got app. $0.75 per bf invested in the lumber.
