: Do you know how to identify it compared to other cedar types? I asked the guy
: at Home Depot if their cedar was Western Red Cedar, and he looked at me
: like I'd asked him what the square root of a potato is.

In the midwest all you'll find at the big box stores is western red cedar. The others are nearly impossible to find here. There are large variations in color btw, lots of it's not very red.
