Cypress is no longer available, and most wood sold as > 'cedar' is really red cedar, which is no more rot resistant than fir or > hemlock.) Maybe we are talking about a different species of cedar but red cedar also know as aromatic cedar was used as fence post years ago. Some are still in use more than 50 years later. I dont know of any commercially produced woodenware made of red cedar, maybe Lloyd meant western cedar.
