WHY YELLOW-CEDAR

Yellow-Cedar is a durable, termite-resistant,
natural alternative to pressure-treated lumber.

Yellow-Cedar is one of the world's most durable woods with exceptional longevity. It is renowned for its strength and natural resistance to weather, rot and termites. Yellow-Cedar provides a "green" alternative to chemically treated wood for outdoor decking, fencing, marine pilings, docks and other structures in fresh water. It is well suited to coastal environments and termite-infested regions.

Yellow-Cedar's attractive white-yellow color, fine texture and workability make it an excellent choice for furniture, residential construction and restoration projects.

Dense, tough and close-grained, it withstands impact well and does not splinter - ideal for benches, outdoor furniture and playground structures.

Yellow-Cedar, Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis,
(Alaskan Cedar or Yellow Cypress)
grows along the coast of S.E. Alaska and British Columbia.
It is a medium-sized tree growing to over 80 feet
and nearly 3 feet in diameter when mature.
Yellow-Cedar is a slow-growing and decay-resistant tree
that can be harvested from "fall down" from previous cutting programs.
