Welcome aboard and thank you for sharing your cedar carving. I love cedar but it is hard to carve!

Hi

The Australian Red Cedar has the Latin name of Toona australis, aka Cedrela toona, which is different from cedars found in the Northern Hemisphere - it possible that the cedar you are using is Thuja plicata?

Tony, I am not sure. All my cedar comes from southern Missouri. It is a wonderfull white yellow and deep red mix. Makes for very interesting carvings. It is hard and detail chips easily but I am able to carve it.
