Cedar from telephone poles

Bought Cedar boards at Auction saturday. Local Guy buys used telephone poles for $3.00 a piece and mills with portable bandsaw mill. Cuts creasote (sp) section off and mills the rest. Could mill to just about any length. He charged $145.00 per 100 brd feet. Wood varied greatly in quality though (lots of checks and knots in some) Just an idea I thought was worth throwing out there.
