And even so I find the density of Douglas Fir does vary quite a lot from sample to sample. The closer the growth rings the denser it seems to be. But like everything else, it is a guide only and should not be used in isolation.

Agreed Doug, but in this case it would definitely separate DF from WRC.

Both Oregon and Western Red Cedar have a distinctive smell. Hemlock has no smell once dry.
Oregon density and weight vary greatly subject to growing conditions. To rely on these indications for proof of identity may be somewhat misleading.
Saw, sand or plane - if there is no smell, I'll bet its Hemlock.

When I bought the timber it was advertised as WRC but I’m not sure how accurate the info was.
