Michael Dresdner: Absolutely. Eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana, is a small evergreen, and in spite of its name is a juniper and not actually a cedar. Its wood is quite variegated in color, has a distinctive aroma, and will repel moths. For these reasons it is often called aromatic cedar and is frequently used to line hope chests and blanket chests. The wood also contains an antioxidant that may prevent oil-based finishes from curing over it.
