Cedar of Lebanon

[RPRoss3]

Looking for someone or some organization to certify some lumber from my family's property in Harnett County, North Carolina. We have the provenance of the two trees declaring them as gifts of Cedar of Lebanon, and only one has been milled. The family is looking for maximum value, and feels some "certification" from a credible source would help. Thanks for he help.

No help here but there is a previous thread about Cedar of Lebanon wood and its identification that is inconclusive.

Fair Price for Cedar of Lebanon?

I am trying to help a colleague who is liquidating assets from her friend's estate to pay outstanding bills per his will. There is a huge stack of rough-cut lumber. I haven't seen it personally, but she said it is an inch thick (4/4 I guess), 4"-9" widths, 8 ft. long. She spoke to the sawyer...

Gifts from who and when were they gifted to your family. Do you have pictures of the lumber and the other tree that has not been milled?

The US Forest Service laboratory will do species identifications for consumers.

I cannot find much about Cedar of Lebanon wood or lumber prices. There are a few places that sell small pieces though.
