I got a stack of book-matched eastern red cedar boards that are spectacularly fiddleback most of the way and are over 2' wide and 8' long. Only had them a decade or three and still looking for the right place to use them...
The cedar I cut down in the yard made it to the mill twice in five years, I wanted to cut it up into two inch thick boards.
First time he was broke down, second time he was extending the bed on the mill and couldn't run it.
Finally I just started in whittling on it and ended up settling for a nifty 14 foot long garden bench....
I'm sure an idea will come to mind one day if you keep them around a little longer...
