What can I do with cedar wood?
+8
we have an abundance of cedar trees that my husband was hoping to sell to Make money. We haven’t found any buyers, so I was looking for Diy ideas that we could do to make some money. Or at least use for our own home or gifts. Thanks

I would look into twig (or branch) furniture construction using round tenons for the smaller pieces - and we have a juniper stump instead of a pedestal holding up our bathroom sink, which we paid a 'lot' of money for.
planking a whole tree by yourself is really, really hard work unless he has the gear for it.
You can look at you tube videos on how to make tables, they look awesome.
cedar is a great deterrent for things like months. If you do make stuff, save the chips and bag them in muslin bags to sell, they will go fast!
You could slice each tree into circles, then make ornaments or cutting boards. Or this person, who used the stump to make a bookshelf:

Have some of the wood made into planks and turn a closet into a cedar closet for the wool garments that you have.

Great for bird, owl, duck houses. Free plans can be found online.
Beautiful cedar picnic tables and porch swings aree always very popular. Smaller items like bird houses and bird feeders are great from cedar also. If you do woodburning also, you can make windchimes and woodburn cedar danglers at the bottom. Good luck!
