I noticed that there was a cedar tree cut down the other day when I was going to work so at lunch I went back to where it was and asked the guys who cut it down if I could take a couple limbs. They were glad to not have to load up the ones at least that I took.
I cut them down and skinned them and have turned out 2 cedar brush handles, Here's a couple pictures of one of them.
