<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elarnia, post: 9430515, member: 159&quot;]Most of Carter&#039;s pieces described online are noted as being Australian red cedar.&nbsp;&nbsp; One source, I believe from the <a href="https://ehive.com/collections/3977/port-macquarie-museum" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ehive.com/collections/3977/port-macquarie-museum" rel="nofollow">Port Macquarie Museum</a>, says this about this wood:</p><blockquote><p><font size="4">&quot;...Australian red cedar (Toona ciliata), a member of the mahogany family, and one of Australia’s few native deciduous trees. The timber was once prolific on the Mid North Coast of NSW but was heavily and unsustainably cut out of the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Red in colour and easy to work, it was highly valued and used extensively for furniture, wood panelling and construction. Availability of the timber is now limited.&quot; </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p></blockquote><p><font size="4">I would contact one of the dealers who have listed Carter items, or the Museum, for advice.&nbsp; If it is red cedar, even if the Wardrobe has no use in it&#039;s current state I am sure someone would like to recycle the wood, but I expect someone would want it as is.
