Western Red Cedar
A North American Classic, Reimagined
Western Red Cedar is one of North America’s great renewable resources. It is an expansive and popular tree in the Pacific Northwest region. In addition to its prominence as sustainable exterior material, it’s very durable and is one of the lightest commercial softwoods.
Timeless Material, Modern Expression
Western Red Cedar pairs natural warmth with a light, workable character. From rustic Select Tight Knot to clean A & Better Clear Vertical Grain, it covers a wide range of design intent, and it takes charred and other finishes with rich, lasting results.
