The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up.
Here’s another angle. The pics are really close to the actual color.

Yep that's definitely a block of red autumn cedar.
Aha! Thank you!
Is that the same as eastern red cedar? Looking it up, I see a forum discussion about how rare quilting is in this species. I’m going to have to ponder what to make that really does it justice. BTW, I’m certainly open to suggestions.
Its the same species but it's not in the same family. It really is a rare specimen you've got there we don't usually see them this far north.
Very interesting, and I assume you mean it’s the same family, but not the same species?
