ALASKAN YELLOW CEDAR (XXXX) – >/< XXXX – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: Hard to find commonly good straight grained pieces.
ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR (CXXX) – >/< XXX – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: Hard to find commonly good straight grained pieces.
NORTHERN WHITE CEDAR (XX) – >/< XXXX – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: Hard to find commonly good straight grained pieces.
EASTERN RED CEDAR (Juniperus Virginiana) – >/< 900 – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: If you’ve driven through northern New Jersey, you’ve driven past thousands of Eastern Red Cedars. I love working with this wood and haow it smells. Technically, it is a JUNIPER, not a cedar. Definitely NOT a “clear” (meaning – free of knots) wood to work with. Hard to find commonly good straight grained pieces.
SPANISH CEDAR (Cedrela Odorata) – Janka Hardness Rating – >/< 600 – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: Wonderfully aromatic. Very distinct. I would call the scent: spicy. This wood was used to make the 1st ever (BD) Bow Drill set I made and sold to another human being on Etsy back in 2013.
PORT ORFORD CEDAR (Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana) – Janka Hardness Rating – >/< 590 – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: My #1 recommendation for a “Cedar” to make a set with. Wonderfully aromatic. Occasionally, there is a Japanese carpenter on YouTube named Shoyan that I will watch. A lot of times he is working with a Japanese wood called: “Hinoki” (Chamaecyparis Obtusa.) “Hinoki” can translate to: “Hi” – “Fire.” “No” – “Of.” “Ki” – “Wood.” Or, “Wood of Fire.” Port Orford Cedar is the American version of this species.
INCENSE CEDAR (Calocedrus Decurrens) – Janka Hardness Rating – >/< 470 – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: Probably my 2nd most recommended “Cedar”. Usually very “clear” (meaning – free of knots) and easy to work.
WESTERN RED CEDAR (Thuja Plicata) – Janka Hardness Rating – >/< 350 – AROMATIC.
PERSONAL NOTE: You most likely got your 1st (BD) Bow Drill with a set you made out of cedar – probably Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis Thyoides). However, if you wanted to replicate your making a new set, you can go to your local “big box” hardware store and they’ll probably have some boards of Western Red Cedar which is very close.
