oak, cypress
柏 centers on a type of tree, specifically oak or cypress, often associated with strength and longevity.
柏 combines 木 (tree) with 白, which likely contributes the sound. It originally referred to a type of evergreen tree.
A tree 木 with white 白 bark, like a birch, but here it's an oak or cypress. Imagine a sturdy oak with pale bark standing in a forest.
For ハク, picture a hack saw cutting through the tough oak wood: hack -> ハク, and the tree 木 is being cut.
