I could swear I have seen this discussed before. I'm looking for pure Spanish and Port Orford Cedar oils (essential). If you have good sources, please let me know.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks, but I'm looking specifically for Port Orford and Spanish Cedar oils.

Well, that stuff from Amazon sucked. The Jury is out on the Port Orford stuff. Out of the bottle, reminds me of Pinesol. We'll see. Seems Spanish Cedar oil is protected or banned under Cites. The wood us not, but the oil is??

Contrary to its name, Spanish Cedar is a South American product
