ok this may be a dumb ? but here it goes... i have some cedar that was cut and some from a dead cedar that had fell after several yrs when the area was burned...i would think this would be classified as standing dead cedar

the main ? is the cut cedar is lighter in color( more pink ) than the dead cedar..is this due to the fact one died naturally and the other was cut or does the wood darken with age? this is an example of what i am talkin bout...the top is from the dead and the bottom was cut live and dryd for bout a yr...

thanks for any info
