Cedar

Cedar is a lightweight, aromatic softwood prized for its rich colors, distinct grain patterns, and natural resistance to decay. We typically carry Eastern Red Cedar, Western Red Cedar, and occasionally Spanish Cedar or other varieties. Eastern Red Cedar features striking reddish-purple heartwood with a fine, even grain, while Western Red Cedar has warm reddish-brown tones and a straight, uniform grain. Spanish Cedar, though not a true cedar, offers a pleasant aroma and moisture resistance, making it ideal for specialty projects.

Cedar is an excellent wood for turning and carving, cutting smoothly with minimal tear-out. Its beauty, fragrance, and durability make it a favorite for bowls, decorative pieces, and even outdoor applications.
