A. The main differences between these two products are simply cosmetic appeals. #2 Cedar has a rugged appearance wih some moderate defects from being handling by the mill and other suppliers before it reaches you yard. The most noticeable of these defects is differences in coloration. Cedar usually has a light brown tone that remains consistant, but  becausethe #2 grade cedar is milled from the outermost portion of the tree, it tends to have white streaks in the grain.
