6M Western Red Cedar, cut to size, is a premium timber choice for those undertaking various outdoor projects. Sourced fresh and custom-cut from the log, this rough-sawn wood is ideal for a plethora of applications, including external cladding, shingles, and even boatbuilding. The generous 6-meter lengths are provided oversized to accommodate your specific requirements, eliminating the hassle of exact measurements.

Characterized by its heartwood, which showcases a stunning reddish to pinkish brown hue with unique streaks and bands of darker tones, this cedar enhances the natural beauty of any project. The coarse texture and straight grain offer moderate natural luster, making it visually appealing while also easy to work with. Though it can dent and scratch due to its softness, it accepts glues and finishes exceptionally well, ensuring a polished final product.

Western Red Cedar is renowned for its exceptional durability against decay, making it a reliable choice for outdoor applications. This timber also possesses a distinct, aromatic scent that adds an extra layer of sensory enjoyment during your work. Precautions should be taken as it can cause mild irritation for some, but it remains manageable with proper care.

For optimal results, ordering an additional 10% over your estimated needs for cladding projects is recommended, especially considering potential warping and movement inherent to natural wood. As a sustainable choice, Western Red Cedar is not only environmentally friendly but also a lesser-known gem, providing a balance of beauty, workability, and resistance against the elements. Whether you're constructing a rustic shed or crafting bespoke garden furniture, this 6M cedar lumber is set to elevate any outdoor endeavor.
