[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1278596, member: 12007"]I'd guess that the "soldier" wood is Western Red Cedar and the boot, Honduras Mahogany. Although, short grain on the base of the figure would be difficult to keep in one piece if WR cedar (easily split), still, older growth does have a pronounced grain and you say it is lighter than a piece of pine ... It actually looks like fir, but that would be heavier than pine in my experience ..so probably a variety of pine![/QUOTE]
