: Is it as light or lighter than spruce or white cedar?

Hi Shawn,

Here is a photo. The diamonds in the accent strip and the lightest sections are basswood (excuse the reflections). This is after glassing, so it is the final color. For info, the darkest narrow strips are walnut, the second lightest stripped areas are a medium-light red cedar, and the dark strips are dark red cedar.
