Western red cedar is an evergreen native to the Pacific coastal region. Humans have harvested it for over 1,000 years, recognizing its unique ability to withstand rot. Today, it’s used for everything from wooden fences to exterior siding to guitar soundboards.

When you watch the accompanying video, you’ll experience the beauty of these majestic trees for yourself. Take note of the warm grain of the sawn lumber, and the variety of colors present from heartwood to sapwood. If you choose to install a red cedar fence, you can look forward to its graceful, gradual weathering that gently redefines its color palette.
