Just wanted to share this with other wood lovers. I found some 6x6 beams at the tree burial ground, covered with paint, full of nails and lag bolts. Just a mess, but I could see that it was old growth. Cut some up tonight and made a few pen blanks from an end cut. Sanded the end grain of this blank and counted 69 rings in a 15/16" square blank. Yea, I know that western red cedar will not make a great pen because it's so soft, but, what a fitting end to this majestic tree. Hope the photo comes out somewhat reasonable, but I had to use magnification to count the rings!
