Blairgowrie Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Just bought some very nice cedar logs from a couple of real rough characters. I suspect they stole them from some farmer. Saves me a lot of work going into the swamp and risking my life. As soon as spring comes and the snow is gone, I will start sawing them. I already have orders for decking and tongue and groove cedar from a guy who wants to side his pool cabana. I paid $2,000 for the logs and will get back $5,000. I have also made a deal with them to come back in the spring and cut my cedar our of the swamp on a 50-50 basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Why would you say they stole them? How much should all that wood normally cost? I don't know which one is the most dodgy looking. The guy on the right looks like he's the type who would say, "Squeal little piggy!" And the one on the left... looks like he has 2 women locked up in his cellar. Now you tell me they are really your relatives, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It only goes to show you how much power BG really has. I mean the guy has got Dennis Farina delivering his damn wood (oh, and for you eastern NA types - we're still golfing out in Victoria) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 The guy on the right was referred to me by a Mennonite friend who saws logs for a living. He buys over 20,000 board feet from them each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 No Global Warming for you I see. Here in Belgium if it starts snowing for once, everything has melt the day after... Not sure if it's caused by global warming though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Bucky Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 We have a name for those types of guys.If they're really crooks they're called Cedar Rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I was hoping you might come along Bucky and pitch in with some comments. I was very impressed with the quality of the logs and bought more than I really need to get started in the spring. The Consultants just finished doing a 10 year plan for me which has now been approved by the Ontario Forestry Commission. This is one of the requirements for the tax break and it is a win, win for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer57 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ok, I can't help it.....(cough). Every time I hear you Canadian guys have a conversation, I think of lumberjacks and Royal Canadian mounties. "BG's a lumber jack and He's OK, he cuts down trees and he works all day......." Oh, and I found this old film of BG performing with said mounties when he was much younger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9TGk71VZpY&NR=1 Give it a few seconds...... You can thank me later........
