Yeah it’s getting harder and harder to find "experts" anymore nowadays. Great when you come across one

[@mydogatemyhomework3768]

Well to be fair he got it partially right, however Oak is not the hardest wood and Cedar is not the most durable Outdoors. But they are close to what he's saying

[@TM-zp1jh]

You mean, "when someone thinks they know a lot about a very specific thing." He did say a lot that was correct.

Just learned something new today. Cedar wood isn’t stronger than oak but it has a longer longevity.

[@ScuffedLandlord]

All the old houses in mass have cedar shingle. Holds up against the salt from the sea and the salt from the roads. Pilgrims knew what they were doing

[@ScuffedLandlord]

Buddy bought an old house from 1770 with original cedar shingles. He rehabbed the place as an investment to sell it. New cedar shingles. Crazy to think the shingles on that house were older than the dang country lol

Also termites don't eat cedar

Thats false. I work in pest control and they most definitely eat cedar. Although its not preferred because of the oils in cedar wood. Subterranean Formosan termites will eat through whatever wood is available

But that hickory though..😂😂😂

Carpenter here and Bryce is correct about the ceder for outdoor use, but is nearly right about the oak strength and hardness. Hard maple is the hardest wood there is, then its red oak.

See now I feel even worse for his loss and subsequent seizure. Bryce seems like a genuinely wholesome dude, I hope he recovers well enough to fight again

[@charlesbrown4483]

FYI: Seizing can happen any time someone is unconscious. Even if it’s not caused by brain or spine trauma. People think it’s a sign of a more damage in regard to a knockout because it’s a shocking thing to see compared to the more common fencing response or just a limp body, but it’s really just a thing that can happen.

Farmers use oak for their trailers. My papaw tried using cedar for his trailers and the cattles hooves fell through it. He's right about cedar preserving itself. I think cedar wood takes the longest to season. But once it's seasoned then it burns for a long time and smells good lol

[@charlesbrown4483]

People get too wrapped up in the hard-and-fast guidelines for how to use hard/soft woods respectively. There’s really a lot more context to it, like the example you gave for trailers.
