Substitute for WRC

[Eric Roach]

Can anyone recommend a good substitute to WRC (Western Red Cedar)?

Specifically, I wanted to build a couple of Rockfish9's Sand Eel Swimmers without having to order some WRC, which is the recommended wood.

I have EWP & Basswood, which is close to the density of WRC. I also have some AYC, Port Orford and Spanish cedars, but they about 30-40% denser than WRC.

Thanks to anyone who has some experience with wood swaps for swimmers.

Thanks again,

Eric
