Is it quite pink, Heather?
I'm surprised no one else has guessed yet! I'm going to make a terrible guess: is it Douglas fir?

Oh man this is giving me flashbacks to level 2 cabinet making, do you know how many hours I spent scratching and sniffing different woods for a quiz that turned out to only be worth 5 🙃.
Is it larch?
This one is simple. Cedar. Red specifically?

Your suspicion is correct, Jordan! I'd never seen this wood before my grandfather gave us this in a batch of firewood and pointed it out, so I don't know how typical it is for the species. The Wood Database says it can have a pinkish hue. It's quite beautiful wood.

That smell of freshly cut wood - especially cedar! - can't be beat. It almost makes firewood and other chores worth it.
