General guidelines always have some exceptions. What I gave were general guidelines.
well what good does a common name do anyone, especially when you still dont know what kind of tree you are really referring to? but you are pretty sure its cedar? if the tree you are telling people to seek out is a cedar, its a softwood conifer and is not suitable. your general guidelines in this case aren't even generally correct. infact you contradict yourself within the few posts you made in this thread alone.
