Lots of you guys have cedar on your property and often it gets cut and burned. If you ever have the need for an attractive split rail fence for landscaping purposes then those cedar logs make great rails. Just cut the logs in 10 ft sections and then rip them with a chainsaw into rails. A 12 inch log will produce a bunch of rails. Rip the rails to where the diameter of each rail is anywhere from 3" to 4". A 12" diameter log will produce anywhere from 10 to 12 rails. When you rip them down with a chainsaw the finish looks like they were almost hand hewn. If you want a post and rail fence then cut smaller logs around 6" in diameter into 6 ft sections for the posts and use the chainsaw to create the holes for the rails to fit in the posts. Son has a post and rail in front of his house built out of cedar ripped with a chainsaw. We did this one about 3 years ago in front of a cabin at the farm.
