dearest carpenters, my dad has just chopped down a 140 year old cedar tree at his home and whilst its all very say I need a dining table that will last 500 years of drunken dinner parties. however i'm a journalist and the last bit of furniture I made was a coaster at GCSE 20 years ago. - do you need to season cedar? if so for how long? - can anyone recommend a furniture designer to help create a design? - can anyone recommend a quality craftsman to deliver the design? - is cedar dust carcinogenic? - what is the best varnish / finish for cedar for a table used for dining / mess / heavy domestic use? cheers mafioko
You need to get it planked first which will either mean you transporting it to a sawmill or getting a mobile bandsaw to come to you. There is a technique using a sort of ladder and a very big chain saw but it's best to leave these sort of things to the professionals.
I have seen a tree cut into planks where it fell. But that was in a field and it was possible to get all the kit on site. So if restricted it comes down to chainsaws, and what can actually be carried off from the fell site.
