We bought a package of cedar tongue and groove for lining a closet from Lowe’s a couple of years ago. Opened it today and between the boards there is a coating of fine crystals (looks like very fine sugar). The coating covers 90% of the boards. It can be brushed off. Any idea what this is?

It's sap that's come to the surface and dried. Cedar seems to do it more than most other types of wood, in my (relatively limited) experience.
