Each piece is freshly sawn to your exact specifications, making it ideal for custom constructions that require a personal touch. This rough-sawn timber is delivered in its green state, ensuring you receive the most natural product possible.
With its striking reddish to pinkish brown heartwood and subtle bands of darker hues, Western Red Cedar not only boasts aesthetic appeal but also exceptional resilience. Rated as durable to very durable against decay, this wood offers a reliable option for outdoor applications. Its straight grain and coarse texture are easy to work with, whether you prefer hand or machine tools, although care must be taken as the wood is soft and prone to scratching.
Unique to Western Red Cedar is its aromatic scent, enhancing the working experience while providing an authentic wood aroma to your projects. The timber can exhibit natural characteristics such as warping and checking due to its living nature, so it’s wise to order approximately 10% more than required, especially for cladding purposes.
This lumber is versatile, commonly utilized in shingles, exterior siding, boat building, and even musical instruments. While this product is generally affordable for construction-grade lumber, higher grades are available for specialized needs. With a commitment to sustainability, the Western Red Cedar sourced here is a responsible choice, posing no significant risk to the environment and supporting local forestry practices. Choose our 1.8M Western Red Cedar for your next project and experience the blend of beauty, functionality, and sustainability it offers.
