I know we have Juniper in the area, its just a weed that has invaded and pushed the pines out of the lower elevations around here. Didn't realize it was also refered to as a cedar.
 
It's not the same but I couldn't tell from the photo which one it was. It looks more like Eastern red cedar to me but could be juniper.
I'll bet the bark will work off of it no matter what it is.
 
Eastern red cedar is actually a juniper, Juniperus virginiana, but is said to be indigenous to the eastern part of the country, so I don't know if the bark of the type of junipers in the west will work.

Well, it's important to know.

Is it Juniper or is it Ceder?

A man wouldn't want to go barking up the wrong tree, wood he?

:grin:

Well, Zonie, they said you were a wit, and I see they were about half right. :haha: :haha: :haha:

When I was hunting in Montana, they had stunted bush-sized trees that were referred to as junipers. They looked like larger versions of stuff you plant for landscaping.
It smelled a bit different from red cedar but the needles and bark were similar to Eastern red cedar (not white cedar nor Western cedar).

I've forgotten a lot of my botany lessons from college.
