Alaskan Yellow Cedar
The Hardest Known Cedar in the World!

Found only on the Pacific coast of North America – It is slow growing with high disease and decay resistance, as well as oils that make it very aromatic.  It grows from Alaska south to Oregon with the largest areas of growth in British Columbia and SE Alaska. What makes Alaskan Yellow Cedar so special?  Historically, Alaskan Yellow Cedar was first used by the West Coast Indians for their historic Totem Poles and great war canoes, it is a rare and often difficult to find lumber species.  Alaskan Yellow Cedar is still a preferred wood for boat building.  Master boat builders use it for its strength, durability and decay resistance.  When comparing strengths, Alaskan Yellow Cedar rivals that of Douglas Fir.  Left in its natural state, Alaskan Yellow Cedar turns a silver hue that is both elegant and stately.  If you prefer, Alaskan Yellow Cedar stains beautifully so it can fit into any décor or color scheme.
 
So what makes Alaskan Yellow Cedar special?  It's more than the natural beauty, superior craftsmanship, and pleasing texture of the wood itself.  It's also the people who use Alaskan Yellow Cedar - people whose taste and imagination demand the best.
