Has anyone used this..with soaring price of cedar, looks a nice alternative...but not sure how it greys.

I used Siberian Larch in the end but looked at many alternatives. I would not be comfortable with timber imported from West Africa even if it does claim FSC certified. Apparently not durable in it’s raw form, needs to be thermo-modified which then depends on the consistency of the process. After thermal treatment it is brittle so certain profiles not recommended.
