Had my slabs cut following a hurricane some years back. 14 cedars down in the yard and a fair number in the rest of the neighborhood. Salvaged what I could, let them cure for about 18 months. Wound up with a couple thou board feet of 1/2/3" slabs ranging from 12' to about 24" wide. Still have a fair bit. miss the shade. Have one left in the yard that has a butt of about 36".
