Be careful using western red cedar I cannot use it my hands chest get little blisters that itch like hell every time I use it wear a mask as with all timber
there should be a few posts on here about timber for lure making

Thanks for the help guys! Went to a timber salvage yard 30 mins away. Ended up finding some baltic pine.
