Paul,
Apparently no one replied to the entire list, because I haven't seen
any of the negative replies. But I don't see why you can't use
cedar. Dan Larson offers cedar sound boards on his lutes. My music
teacher had a lute with a cedar soundboard and I thought it sounded
wonderful.

Thank you all for the comments and advice!
Now...what to do with that nice piece of cedar I stumbled upon?
Thanks,
Paul
