The oil is extracted by the partial pressure steam distillation process-from waste wood
Being that what is widely known as Cedar is actually a member of the Juniper family, this is a broad question. If what you are looking for is more of a tree type, Cedar, you can look for Port Orford Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, etc. But know that these are not true Cedars. They are members of the Juniper family. If you are looking for true cedars, try looking for Deodar or Lebanon Cedar. These are true Cedars. One of the characteristic differences between the Juniper "Cedars" and true Cedars are the leaves. Junipers have small over-lapping scales in place of the needle clumps similar to those of the Western Larch. Note that, unlike Larches, true Cedars are not deciduous.
Western red cedar is a beautifully red wood. Its quite soft and very easy to sand. Be careful when sanding that you only move the sandpaper with the grain, otherwise you might tear and splinter the grain. Don't use a rotating sander.One technique that leaves a beautiful finish is to wet sand the cedar with teak oil. Use 300+ grit. Sand the wood until its pretty smooth, then rub teak oil on the cedar and sand more, the sawdust will fill any deeper pockets and make the final finish as smooth as glass. Finally wipe excess oil with a rag.
The tree you are referring to is likely the Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana). It is a coniferous tree that has fragrant, often red-colored wood.
Red cedar leaves are simple, meaning they consist of a single blade attached to the stem at a central point.
Eastern red cedar trees have adapted to various environmental conditions by developing traits like drought tolerance, deep root systems for water absorption, and the ability to thrive in a wide range of soil types. They also exhibit fire-adapted traits, with thick bark that can withstand fires and cones that release seeds after a fire to take advantage of open, cleared areas for colonization. Additionally, the aromatic oils in their foliage help deter browsing by herbivores.

Most preparations of red cedar call for boiling the medicinal parts to make a decoction or for making a tea or infusion.
It's waxy coating, it helps it store water. Also the fact of it height(the height of the western red cedar is 60 meters), it helps it collect lots of sunlight.
Common softwood trees that grow in the rainforest include species like pine, cedar, Douglas-fir, and spruce. These trees are well-adapted to the moist and warm conditions of the rainforest environment, making them important components of the ecosystem.
Red Cedar Technology was created in 1999.
If it is the aromatic red heart cedar, just hit it a few times with a piece of 150 grit sandpaper. This works well on a cedar chest lining or cedar closet as well. Do not seal it with any oil or stain as it will seal the wood and no smell will emit from it.
