Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar timber sample
Colour and grain vary.

This is the best naturally durable softwood available, without exception. Canadian slow grown Western Red Cedar combines excellent durability with light weight making it ideal for cladding. Our Canadian Western Red Cedar stocks are No. 2 Clear and Better. Make sure you specify this, as inferior grades are available elsewhere. Colours are variable, with a mixture of browns and reds when first planed, which will blend out in time.
