: Is cedar a fir?

I wouldn't really know one way or the other. I think pine, fir and hemlock are more closely related, than any of these to cedar. I have run into pitch in some fir, not most, however, and I have never run into picth in cedar, so maybe if one stayed away from pine and fir the cool blocks would work okay.
