What kind of cedar?  If you are referring to Eastern Red Cedar(Juniperus virginiana) or Southern Red Cedar(J. silicicola),  the answer is yes. I see you live in Fla so Southern Red Cedar is probably what you have.

You can out of eastern red cedar, but the wood is prone to chrysalling if your tiller if off.
