: ...do you know how the weight
: of clear pine or fir compares to northern white cedar?.....

Jim,

According to the table located at http://www.woodbin.com/ref/wood/strength_table.htm there is enough variation in weight within a family to pay attention to the exact species. This does not address machineablity or flexibility (without breaking), so I will leave that to others with more experience.
