FRESH CUT WOODS > WESTERN RED CEDAR
Our fresh cut Western Red Cedar timbers
are brought in from British Columbia
and the Pacific Northwest region. We bring in timbers in sizes
from 8x8’s up to 16x16’s. Larger sizes are available upon request, and
time is needed to bring these special order timbers in from the
Northwest.
Since these timbers are fresh cut,
we
can mill them into any size you require. Western Red Cedar is a naturally
dry product, so you will not get much if any warping or twisting like you
may encounter with sapwoods such as yellow pine. Cedar will however
develop some checking (stress cracks) which is result of the exit of what
little moisture is in the timber. This only adds to the character of the
wood, and does not affect strength.
Western Red Cedar has a reddish brown tint
to it and is a very nice option for interior beams as well as exterior
applications.
