Just very interesting, my husband works at a lumber mill, cedar only, they sometimes see yellow , and he will bring some home since the mill dose not want it, I LOVE the smell of yellow cedar.
Can you strengthen the surface with many coats of varathane or even epoxy? I love working with yellow cedar. In university I used it for carving in print making, beautiful for that application!
Right. At coastal 56 degree latitude (Port Protection, Wrangell) its sweet spot is 360 m (1200 feet), at higher elevation it competes with mountain hemlock, and lower with red cedar.
This stuff grew right beside the ocean where I lived as a child in rural British Columbia (Sunshine Coast). I lived literally no more than 10 meters from the beach and we had lots of Yellow Cedar trees right beside our house. Most wonderful smell ever, I don't think it was stinky at all. I'm not really sure how to describe it. Definitely a pungent smell, but in a pleasant way. I was always hunting for yellow cedar driftwood. I once carved an ocean canoe paddle out of it. As the uploader mentioned, there was also a lot of red cedar around.
@@apprenticemath They are no longer open there for retail so you got there just in time. Sad business as they were our yellow source for many years and at good prices.
Ah, so I randomly just found the only spot that had yellow cedar at the time. Don`t know anything about them, was only there once. I often just spot and film local resources in my travels as the opportunity arises. Thanks for watching!

Yes you can!
I got conflicting information;you state this is not a structural wood but the Glulam spec 20F-V12 is Alaska yellow cedar
Oh sorry, here on the mid west coast of BC it only grows at 500 meters or higher. But probably in Alaska its different

It looks like you are at Sunbury Cedar in Surrey.
Probable loaction, can`t remember, stopped at sawmills randomly.
