cedar

Well, you mentioned the main uses i associate Cedar with. good for closets and clothing doors. Makes great potpourri (probably butchered that spelling). I would imagine it could work as a secondary wood.

I would think that it could be used for really anything you could imagine.

It’s spanish cedar for humidors. Aromatic or eastern cedar is what is used for chests and closets. it has the nice smell. Western red cedar is soft but is used for outdoor furniture or siding on structures. it doesn’t rot but is not bug resistant. My parents house is red cedar and there is a type of bee that loves to bore holes in it all the time.

Bird houses, also easy carving wood.

I have been trying to find cedar for months out here in CA for a porch swing, what I find is as much or more than white oak!!
If it is good for outdoors I imagine indoors it will last forever, it is soft wood though.
Take all you can!!!!
