Come on down to see me Ron. I'll give you a 3" thick by about 16' long cedar plank you can rip enough strips out of for a couple of pirogues. Bring a trailer big enough and I will give you a whole cedar tree trunk to make a whole fleet with. Could probally get some 2' wide boards out of the middle. James and I had 2 trees that we never did get slabbed out before he died. Like Bob Barker said "Cooome on Down". :lol:

Here ya go.

I stood a 2 ft. peice of trim up at the butt for scale. The little logs in the middle is sycamore for turning.

The same 2 ft stick is on the ground at the butt of the log.

On the other side of the log is a smaller one.

This is the small end

We slabbed up two smaller logs but you can only see one of them here.

These slabs are three inches thick.

Cedar being what it is there will be bad spots in it but there is still a lot of strips in there.

Bob, measure with the log standing up. I wanna know how tall it is, not how long. :wink:

 

[Wannabe]

Jack,
I was not trying to show how tall or long the log is. The stick is there for scale so you know how wide it is. :lol: :lol:

[Kayak Jack]

Nice try, old man. Straighten up - you're drooling from just the left side of your mouth.
