After a quick review it’s clear that you are not wrong. I send redwood logs to a local mill. It’s a rather specialized market (decks). In fact, any fir has to be sent to distant mills and the value to me is about zero. I cut some to open the canopy for redwood. Please accept my statement as not a ‘bald-faced lie’ but an ignorant one. I’ll study further.
That you were parroting misinformation is not your fault, and I thank you for researching further. I may have overreacted somewhat as I have heard those lies and refuted them for years, and I truly grow weary of hearing them.
Have a great day, and Merry Christmas
