The Inside Story
Western Cedar is a special light-weight domestic wood that delivers an exceptionally soft tone.
The wood appears salmon pink in color when freshly cut, then turns coffee brown over time.
The wood from both cedar and fir trees is generally straight grained but coarse-textured, with prominent growth rings. In fact, the weight and grain pattern of these Western Cedar bones are virtually identical to the Whamdiddle Virgin Pine "old growth fir" bones, as well it should be. The only difference I can see between the woods from these two conifers is that the pine bones are slightly lighter in color with a faint orange cast.
Western Cedar is one of North America's great renewable resources. It is very light in weight, durable, and often seen outdoors as fencing, patio decks, planters, screens, shelters and garden furniture.
A natural acoustical property of Western Cedar is its ability to dampen vibrations. "The wood has a cellular network of minute interlocking pores which convert sound energy into heat by frictional and viscoelastic resistance," which I suppose is why the wood produces such a soft quiet tone.
