I have something similar with a load of cedar that I cut up. It was infested with big black ants (carpenter ants?). So much for cedar being bug proof. The damage was only to a small portion of the wood so I just kept cutting. Ants burn good too.

I know moths don't like cedar
Do you have some bug out in California we don't have on the east coast? I've never seen cedar with holes like that.
Do you have some bug out in California we don't have on the east coast? I've never seen cedar with holes like that.I googled "Brown Heart rot in Cedar trees" and this is what popped up:
"Brown cubical Butt & Pocket Rot of Cedar"
From forestrydev.org
"The breakdown of the wood becomes brown and brittle and breaks down into cubes to form a cylinder of rot or a series of isolated pockets."
" Common on the butt logs of Western Red cedar."
