Cut down a dying cedar and it appears I am way too late. Heavy insect damage. Perhaps I can salvage enough to make some turkey calls.

Here are a couple strips that have been drying for a couple days.

Maybe powerwash out the damaged areas and make an epoxied table or shelf?

Looks like the cedar I have out here. I love the wood, the live trees, everything about them.

With the giant Hemlocks, giant cedars are my favourites .

Would like to see what you do with it all.

Just did a little research on it and I like it! Looks like a great option.

It's a spectacular option. It will be worth much more to the right woodworker than a perfect board.

I haven’t power washed it yet but I do like it.

I think I’ll just keep updating this thread as the project progresses.
