Thread: cedar

my dad and I cut down a cedar last week and I got around 150 good stakes out of it for making stake beds. I also got some larger limbs. Anybody got any ideas about making some productive brushpiles with these? I set out a few pcs in the yard. I was thinking of pouring a 3/4 inch pc of pvc pipe in a bucket with about 80 lbs of quikrete to make an anchor. I was then going to drill a hole in each limb and slide it down on the pc of pipe and run a bolt through the top portion of the pipe to keep the limbs from coming back up off of it. It would sort of look like a spider or a little tree when i got done. The larger limbs on the trailer are another story. Anyone got any suggestions? Most are 3-5 inches in diameter and there are a couple more that are 6.
