In Response To: Material: Wood species? (Chris)

When I want dark accent wood I usually Western Red Ceder. However, I get it at Home Depot. Depot carries crappy wood and in the siding area IĀ find dark chocolate color heart wood which has knots. I buy a few planks and scarf the good sections as strips. Good quality WRC won't be anywhere as near as dark as the junk WRC heart wood that Depot sells. It's the cheapest and easiest dark wood for me to find in Connecticut
