Houston Area Cedar, Fir, Redwood & Aspen Lumber

Cedar Lumber

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.

Aromatic Cedar - Aromatic cedar is a local Texas cedar, or Juniper. It is mostly used in closet linings, cedar chests, and craft projects. It has a wonderful smell when freshly sanded or cut. Aromatic cedar contains reds and purples and is usually mixed with white sapwood. We mostly stock aromatic 1x6. Most other sizes are available as special order including log mantles.

Douglas Fir Lumber

Douglas fir is a product that is considerably stronger that Western Red Cedar. It can be used in applications that require a more structural product. Fir holds paints and stains well and is attractive in either a smooth or rough finish. We typically bring Fir in per order. It is available in Appearance grade boards and beams. It is also available to get boards and dimensional material in a C-grade fir which is a clear grade of fir.

Redwood Lumber

Redwood – Redwood is a wonderful wood that is stable and durable. While redwood has become difficult to stock, it is a product that is still available. The common grades of redwood that are available are :

Clear All Heart - All red and contains no knots. This is the best grade available and is difficult to get in most sizes.
Heart B - Heart B is all red and contains one defect in the board. This is a very nice product.
Clear - Clear redwood contains no knots, but does have a mix of red and white sapwood.
Construction Heart - This is probably the most common used. Commonly used to make outdoor things such as children’s playgrounds, picnic tables, and flower beds.

Aspen Lumber

Aspen is a light colored softwood that is characterized by brown streaking and larger knots. It is a rustic looking product that looks really nice in rustic, country, or cabin settings. This product is recommended for interior use only and in places that are not high moisture areas, such as bathrooms or kitchens. This product comes in a six inch tongue and groove pattern.

Lodge Pole Pine Lumber

Lodge pole pine is a light colored product consisting of smaller knots and some streaking. Being a species of pine, it is harder that some of the other softwoods. It is a very attractive wood inside or out. We stock this material in a six inch tongue and groove.

Cypress Lumber

Cypress is a hardwood that is chosen for its appearance and durability. Cypress is mostly a yellowish tan in color but has accent colors that range from brown to red to light green. We stock a limited amount of cypress beams from 4 x 4 to to 8 x 12. We can also get boards and make dimensional lumber from 2 x 2 to 2 x 12.
