OOPS! My apologies, Neil!

I _thought_ Juniperus virginiana *was* Western Red Cedar -- information given
to me by a fellow engineer in the structural building materials section of R&D!
That guy is spending too much time on Parallam (tm) and TimberStrand (tm), our 
engineering wood products... :-)

However, Phil Cottell who is my director of Building Materials, R&D, is also 
the former director of Wood Harvesting (and a professional forester). As you 
can see from Phil's mail message you may still want something differnt than 
what I offered. (Mind you, our Western Red Cedar is _prized_ as a building
material in the western USA and overseas!).
