Very impressive.....never thought they would have split so easy....I can say that from where I stand.....I could see there is a lot of manual labour In splitting them rails....should look very nice.....CHEERS

Gator's World thanks! There is a tremendous amount of labor. Hope it’s worth the effort.

Ohio Hill Tops Hobby Farm thanks buddy I’m very excited to get the splitting done and start building the fence.

Hard work brother. Should make beautiful fence to add to landscape of the farm. Thanks for showing.

That will keep you warm and as always great job

It's going to look great. You'll have to show us the final product of your work.

Back in my young day's I went with my great uncle to the woods and watched while they split red cedar for fencing. That was in the 70's. That cedar sap is sticky stuff. Lots of the invasive eastern red cedar here

[@prattsgreenhousefarm9473]

OkieRobs Bees we have very little Cedar here but we do have black locust. That is what I would have preferred to use but I just couldn’t get it done in time.

Rails look good they will make a good fence

[@prattsgreenhousefarm9473]

Thanks Mike! Hopefully it turns out like it does in my head.
