Western Red Cedar (WRC) is one of the largest and finest woods available and is excellent in durability, stability, and rot resistance. WRC is great for its beauty and is also very functional. WRC is in the soft wood family and is very light in weight. Cedar does not swell, shrink, or warp excessively despite our ever changing Texas climate. It does not contain pitch and therefore works well with most stains, paints, and glue. Cedar comes in a wide variance of shades. It ranges from a light tan to a dark chocolate brown. Some pieces will also contain shades of pink and red. WRC also repels most bugs and insects. We carry most cedar in a rough sawn finish but can be surfaced to a smooth finish. WRC comes in several different grades, however simplified, you can get most things in a clear or a knotty product. While WRC is a great choice for the exterior, it also makes for a beautiful interior product as well. Western Red Cedar, functional and beautiful, is a great choice for your next project.
