Port Orford Cedar is the strongest cedar in the
world. It turns very nice and has a very distinct Lemon/Ginger like smell to
it. These balusters are clear. There can be an occasional small tight
knot in these but 99% of the stock we see is
completely clear. We have been using this POC to build lures for over 7 years now. It turns, sands, and seals easily
and will take paint very well. POC is typically used to make arrow
shafts but because of it's strength and buoyancy it makes a excellent
choice for poppers, swimmers, and floating needlefish lures. POC is an
extremely dense wood, typically found in one section of the USA and
grows only in higher elevations. It is a very slow growing tree very
similar in properties to Alaskan Yellow Cedar. It is very buoyant and
makes great top water lures or swimmers. Works great for floating
needles also. Wood doesn't require sealing much like Alaskan Yellow
Cedar, but it is recommended to seal any tannins in and prevent
bleeding.

Remember to use good dust collection or a
respirator when cutting/sanding any kind of cedar.
They contain a very defined crystalline structure which is bad to
inhale. All cedars are this way.
Also make sure you use a good quality hiding primer so you don't have
problems with bleeding which are prevalent with all cedars. |
