Spanish Cedar?

Post by P Bill » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:40 pm

In the 80's in Qld. I could get "Mexican Cedar" or it was also called " Plantation Cedar ". It was used as a ring in for Red Cedar. Anyone know about this timber? It looks a lot like the necks I see called Spanish Cedar. I ask because I still have a 5x5 x 3m. I'll post a photo tomorrow.

I just googled it and I think it's Spanish Cedar. The resinous smell and light weight make me think it is. I'd like to flog it, I can post a sample. I hope this isn't stepping on any toes. It's a one off.

I'd say your safe Bill....:)

You are able to post things like this in the Buy Swap and Sell section where a few of us put a few sticks every once in a while...

No issue whatsoever with you or any regular member of the ANZLF selling a bit of wood on the forum Bill. In fact we are here for just such exchange were member benefits member, so sell away mate.

Where we do draw the line is when people join with 'their' main focus being the exploitation of our membership, or as agents for a commercial enterprise seeking to do the same..i.e. We do not permit spammers to interrupted 'our' focus of looking after each other. 8)
