2.4M Western Red Cedar, freshly sawn to order, offers a unique blend of beauty and functionality for all your outdoor projects. Sourced from UK-grown cedar, each piece is rough-sawn in its green state, meticulously cut to your desired dimensions, ensuring that you receive only the highest quality timber. Ideal for cladding, siding, or any exterior use, this durable lumber showcases heartwood that ranges from reddish to pinkish brown, often adorned with striking streaks and bands of darker colors.
Renowned for its natural decay resistance, Western Red Cedar is perfect for environments exposed to the elements. However, as a living material, it's essential to acknowledge its potential for warping, checking, or splitting over time. Therefore, consider ordering an extra 10% to cover unexpected adjustments.
With a straight grain and coarse texture, the wood is not only aesthetically pleasing but also easy to work with. Its softness means it may dent or scratch easily, but it glues and finishes beautifully, adding to its versatile appeal. A strong, aromatic scent enhances your woodworking experience, creating an inviting atmosphere when crafting.
While the cedar is generally affordable for construction-grade lumber, specific grades may vary in price. Notably, this species is considered sustainable and is not at risk, ensuring responsible sourcing. Commonly utilized for shingles, exterior siding, and musical instruments, its applications are as diverse as the projects you can undertake.
For best results, remember that all lengths are oversize and ordered in standard dimensions. Whether constructing a garden shed or crafting a piece of outdoor furniture, 2.4M Western Red Cedar is the natural choice for quality and durability.
