Fence Posts
Fence Pickets
Eastern Red Cedar Fence Posts and Eastern Red cedar Fence pickets have been our living for 25 years. we have been cutting cedar so long i don't know what else to do. We don't need to go in to a large sale pitch about cedar. You put it up once and it stands there 100 years.
Eastern red cedar posts do not rot or twist. Every thing is used when a cedar post or cedar picket is used. cedar saw dust is used for bedding for most animals, cedar mulch is used around the home, play grounds and offices. the slabs are used buy campers all over the USA for camp fires. a large use for the scrap is for cedar oil. you eat it every day in food and used every day in health and women makeup and other used. We try to go Green when we can
We are 15 miles south west of Big Cedar Lodge and 22 miles south west of Branson or 25 miles north east of Eureka Springs Ar there is a lot of eastern red cedar being used at these 3 places.
In my 25 years of cutting cedar the largest tree of all was a 4 foot across grand dad red cedar. it had 5 - 8 foot 6 inch cuts and a number of 51 inch cuts. it had 10 and 12 inch limbs, it had 200 rings in it. that was one i should have took a picture of and left it alone. but i had to cut it to tell the story.
When you buy red cedar posts and pickets, you are not buying Georgia pacific you are buying home town living and home town life stile The normal tree is from 6 to 10 inches at 8 foot not to many larger red cedars then that. if the do get larger the more bad spots you will find. so we like cutting our 10 inch eastern red cedar. some of the larger trees that are peal nice get exported over seas with red and white oak.
On most days you can cone by and pick up a 500 board foot order or call and we can custom cut what you need. Red cedar grows wild. it will take over a field and you can cut lumber in 15 years. in the woods we cut you can recut every 7 to 10 years and never know you were there.
We do safe and green logging with a hand shake
