Bryan Tyler Nelson		CEDAR
	The name cedar covers many types of trees; Aromatic Red Cedar, Juniper, Spanish Cedar (Cedrela Odorata), and, as shown in photo, Eastern Cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Cedars are aromatic woods that tend to be natural insect repellents, hence their use in blanket chests and the like. The wood is pink to orange-red with creamy yellow-white sapwood. It is lightweight and rot resistant. Eastern cedar trees are found in the US and Canada. Spanish Cedar from South and Central America is traditionally used in humidors and cigar boxes, and is aromatic and tight grained.
