Older trees have wide, fluted, buttressed bases. General Wood Characteristics: Eastern aromatic cedar has a thin, white sapwood, while the heartwood is red to deep reddish-brown. The sapwood may be in stripes, alternating with stripes of heartwood. The wood is moderately low in strength and stiffness, but it is high in shock resistance. It shrinks little during drying and is good dimensional stability. It is easy to work and has moderate hardness. Working Properties: Eastern red cedar lumber is easy to work with both hand and machine tools and has a straight grain.
