Default Identify wood.

I would think it would burn fast and pop. Lots of oil and scent.

Either cedar or juniper. Might help saying where you are located
and if the tree was local...

That worked. No clue what the wood is, but it sure has a nice red
color, sort of like cedar.

That sorta' figures, 'cuz it is...

It has a strong smell but not what I remember of cedar.


How long since it's been cut? It surely looks like cedar in color,
grain and what can be seen of bark.

Another poster mentioned juniper which is possible, I suppose. Where
did it come from?
