The strong aromatic quality of eastern red cedar makes for excellent closet items such as hangers and shoe racks. Cedar is also a wood that will not rot, thus making the perfect material to craft outdoor items such as planter boxes, picnic tables and wind charmers.
The Graham family saws the cedar on their farm using a very efficient Timber King sawmill. The mill uses a blade much thinner than the old circular saws, allowing for less waste in wood. The lumber yield per log is 25% more than conventional mills.

The cedar lumber is then dried and later used in the woodworking shop. Scrap cedar wood pieces and cedar shavings are bagged for the stuffed cedar blocks, shavings, and pet litter.
The Grahams also craft items from other local woods including pine, oak and maple. Those items include the pine trestle tables made from quarter-sawn lumber and round end tables and bar stools made from oak, maple and poplar. |
