Thats a pretty small tree, you wont get much out of it, but it might be worth milling for whatever boards can be had from it for, gifts like nameplates, or lining a chest with or something...? I assume thats some sort of aromatic cedar, not like the huge stuff we grow on the "left" west coast that we call Western Red Cedar.

I haul mine to a local sawmill.
10" minor diameter minimum and 8' 6" length minimum to get paid by BF. A good saw log is about $20, a monster may be $40.
otherwise I get paid "post" price with a minimum minor diameter of 6"
$10 for a 12 ft
$8 for a 10 ft
$5 for a 8 ft
I've made enough for a couple custom guns this way. A 16' trailer loaded down gets about $200.

I can't see the picture for some reason but eastern red cedar is the most rot resistant wood I've ever seen. We use it for fence posts that will outlast anything else. I have a post holding up the mailbox that's been there for 30 years. Carves pretty good, too.

You can section and shake it to use as roofing for a small structure - firewood cubby, dog house, etc.

If it has any character, mill it thin and make switch or plug plates for your home.
