I bet you're wondering about western red cedar sold by M.DaCosta, who "names" the trees he gets wood from. His wife sells his lower grades on eBay. The names let people who want wood from a certain tree get it. Tony_in_NYC recently posted pictures of "Strawberry (cream?) Cedar" here: viewtopic.php?f=10101&t=37056&p=485647&hilit=cedar#p485647 Maybe he'll see this and say more. Hope this is of some help.cheers. |

Sounds like a marketing term for Western Red Cedar. Do a search on 'cedar top guitar' using Google Images and you'll get a ton of pics. |

you shouLd see the size of the strawberries they get off those things. Amazing. I'd just use a nice piece of western red cedar, myself and forget the fruity names. |

It's a real pain having to shimmy 100 feet or so up the trunk to pick em, but talk about tasty! |
