Anyone ever use spanish cedar for soundboard bracing?

I have some off cuts that are the perfect size for making braces out of, with enough for both top and back. I know that some guitar makers have used Spanish cedar for bracing the back, but I can't find any info for soundboard braces using Spanish cedar. The top itself is redwood. I'll probably go with quartered spruce, but I wanted to ask before I wrote off the Spanish cedar. Thanks.

The grain is too wide and the wood it too soft, IMO.

None of the Spanish Cedar I've ever had would be suitable unless it was used along with Carbon Fibre tow and epoxy resin.
