    specifically, western red cedar...
    aka pacific red cedar
    aka giant cedar
    aka giant or western arbor vitae
    aka shinglewood
    aka Thuja plicata

    Native to the Pacific Northwest.

    Which, by the way, happens to be a member of the cypress family....Ikeholt :handshake:

    The recently reposted rules would support that yooperdave gave the most accurate answer. While I said red cedar, there are two clear species of red cedar which include eastern and western. Juniperus virginiana for eastern and Thuja plicata for western... Actually, the genus is also different, Juniperus versus Thuja. The two distinct species converge at the family of Cupressaceae... With that said, my guess of red cedar could have been one of two very different trees... by the rules, a winning guess until yooperdave made his guess which was more specific. With that, I concede my victory to yooperdave who I hope has enough time to post some pics today..
