A Cross at Hickory Hammock Baptist

River Resources is helping special groups produce these crosses for churches and other locations where they stand for a message of hope.  


This one is now standing in the lobby of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in East Milton, Florida. 

THE CROSSES PROJECT

• 
  Frank Neibert is a WWII Veteran. Riverloggers.com  supplies him with cedar and crosses are formed in memory of his wife and in celebration of their faith.  The red cedar is selected from cuttings made by Riverloggers and cut to length.  Frank finishes the crosses. The photos shown here now are not yet sealed and waxed.   Still, the beauty of the cross is evident.

Red Cedar

A source of red cedar is now making it's way into lumber.  Fresh cut, the red is almost lavender but dries quickly to a beautiful red/brown that people like.

Cedars on the lot

About five of these loads of Cedars are arriving on the lot. Most of the expected lumber is already committed.  More river logjam juniper is expected in a week. The sawmill will be humming.

Working into the SPRING with ALL SYSTEMS GO

River Resources weathered out the chilling freeze of January with mill repairs and some cold weather down-time.  Meanwhile, all systems are scheduled to be on GO by the end of January and and full slate of work is ahead.

We will be on the river at Perdido and harvesting some live cedar across the panhandle.  Much of the expected lumber is already earmarked for some key markets but there will always be opportunities for small jobs when windows are open.




Some interesting developing markets for us are the parts of the log that many would pass over. The stumps are at item for landscape markets. The tree tops with many limbs find manufacturers of rustic coat racks and "cat trees" among other things.  Taxidermists use weathered wood for display pieces. Indoor plant decorators use rustic wood for texture in office and retail settings. Even the scraps from cutting can be chipped for horse stalls.  We hope to use "everything but the blue sky between the limbs".

LIVE EDGE fireplace mantels are in demand for upscale homes.  Our stock of "river logs" is a great source for weathered - live edge cuts.  We are amazed at the beauty of timber from the magnificent Juniper wild-fall in our area. 

Red Cedar Contracted

These cedars were contracted for removal. The landowner wanted to remove the trees from the fence-line since they shade off about 5 acres total of a 86 acre field.  He wants the tree stumps to remain about fence top high as a deterrent to off road activity into the fields.It is a February project
