: So I just stopped by my favorite sawmill up in Revelstoke, BC and
: picked up some really nice clear red cedar 2x6's. The grain is
: absolutely perfect, but the boards are about half sapwood.

: Is there any significant structural strength difference between
: heartwood and sapwood in WRC? How about in terms of bending and
: splitting?

I found it a lot easier to plane heartwood than sapwood, when fairing.
