yes everyone is biased in some way. I prefer western Red Cedar. It is more common and available here in Canada.
Obviously cost and availability play into these decisions too. Where i am the home improvement stores have very little untreated wood, so i used Douglas Fir ship lap. It does ooze a little sap, but otherwise has been good so far
I read that Spruce and Pine have more resin than some woods and when heated the resin can be a lung irritant? What do you think? Thanks for the video.
Spruce and Pine indeed have more resin than some other woods. However, at least based on my experience resin heated is not lung irritating & I think its very natural resin that is inside these woods.
I’ve never heard of anyone using alder in a sauna. Doesn’t it rot easily?
Alder is very commonly used premium sauna wood in Europe. It does not rot easily when it's done by Thermory for sauna use.
What is your opinion on basswood?
I don't have any experience with Basswood in sauna use so I can't comment on it.
