No, that's So. California $$. Actually, I went back last weekend and bought a few more at $2.19 each! This time the label read "Western RED Cedar" Even though it varies from a very pale yellow to a deep red. Plus.... because this is "low grade" fencing lumber, it's cut from the outer "flat" grained part of the tree. So when you cut it into strips, the grain is almost perfectly vertical! It's rough lumber, but since I am milling all four sides, who cares?

Yes, there's some waste - knot holes etc. (but the beauty of HomeBase is that nobody hangs around while you sort through the entire pallet for the almost knot-free pieces.)
