: I'm pretty familiar with white cedar, as I strip planked (strips
: were 1.5" square) a 30 foot boat with it.
: It's lovely wood to work with.
: It is not as brittle as most WRC, in my experience, though that may
: be because my white cedar was air-dried (not kiln dried).
: I think it is a bit less dense than WRC, so you can always make the
: pieces a bit thicker if you are concerned about strength (I
: wouldn't be.)
: The sap wood can be a bit spongy, so you sometimes need to use the
: outermost part of the log for firewood.
: I'd cut out knots and scarf the good bits together with epoxy if
: available - most of the logs I used produced planks that had a
: few knots.

Thank you, John for thorough info, also the other two gentlemen I won't mention, for your help.
Googling I also find out that it is also rot resistant as the WRC does. Important for My SOF
I will proceed accordingly
