Benefits of White Cedar Furniture
Cedar is the natural choice because of its beauty, practicality and
durability. We use only the finest cedar to create furniture that lasts
for generations. It is naturally resistant to decay, insect and weather
damage. Because of this superior resistance, cedar is frequently used
for outdoor fencing, and siding on homes. Cedar has an exceptionally
high strength-to-weight ratio, which means that it is both durable and
easy to move about. It does not shrink or warp as many other woods
commonly do. Unlike pressure-treated wood furniture, we use no chemical
preservatives that may be harmful to your family's health.
We use two types of cedar -- Northern White Cedar for our indoor and
outdoor furniture for its creamy white color and enduring strength,
and Western Red Cedar for our outdoor garden products such as arbors
and trellises. When left untreated, over time white cedar weathers
gracefully to a silvery gray, or it can be stained to match any décor.
All cedar log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking
as the wood "seasons". Checking occurs as wood releases moisture across
or through the annual growth rings and it does not affect the
structural performance or integrity of the wood.

All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking
(cracks or splits in wood). Checking happens as wood releases moisture,
and normally occurs across or through the annual growth rings. It is
the usual result of wood seasoning. Checking occurs only on the surface
of the wood, and does not affect the structual performance or integrity
of the wood.
