Port Orford Cedar
The Strongest of all the Cedars!
 Just inland from the rugged Southern Oregon coast
is where these special and unique trees grow. This wood is known for its
enduring beauty, captivating scent, incredible strength and unsurpassed
dependability.
What makes Port Orford Cedar so special?
Historically, Port Orford Cedar was the preferred wood for boat building. Master
boat builders chose it for its strength, durability and decay resistance. This
unique wood contains oils that naturally resist rot and decay. Tests done at the
Oregon State University forest research lab found Port Orford Cedar to have a
20-25 year in-ground post life. When comparing strengths, Port Orford rivals
that of Douglas Fir. Left in its natural state, Port Orford Cedar turns a silver
hue that is both elegant and stately. If you prefer, Port Orford Cedar stains
beautifully so it can fit into any décor or color scheme.
So what makes Port Orford 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 Port Orford Cedar - people whose
taste and imagination demand the best.

Decking
No other place in the home provides more pleasure
than a beautiful, well-crafted deck.
- Kiln dried to a 15-19% moisture content. At this
moisture level, most of the shrinkage has taken place so you can be sure of
having a stable product.
- Surfaced-four-sides. To ensure longevity, they
take extra care in producing an exceptionally smooth finish. Decking remains
smooth with no raised grain.
- Appearance Plus for
a select-tight-knot appearance and D&BTR grade when a knot-free
look is preferred. These tailor-made grades allow our customers to choose
the best value for their particular situation.
- Accessories to complement any deck project. We
have a large selection of grades and profiles in balusters, handrails,
posts, timbers, fascia boards, ball tops, etc.

Environmentally
Responsible
Oregon Forest Practices Act
The “Oregon Forest Practices Act” (OFPA) assures that timber is cut following
strict laws that protect air, water, fish, wildlife, as well as Oregon’s
citizens. In fact, the OFPA contains some of the most comprehensive forest
protection regulations in the country. The broad categories covered in the OFPA
include: planning and conducting forest harvesting operations and reforestation,
road construction and maintenance, protection of fish and wildlife, and use of
chemicals. We meet and exceed the guidelines of the OFPA.
Oregon Department of Forestry
Landowners planning commercial forest operations must submit a written plan to
the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) prior to operation. The ODF verifies
that these plans meet or exceeds the OFPA, and then issues a “Notification of
Operation Number” to the operator. This number allows the ODF to track all
operations, and ensures that all reforestation requirements have been met. To
guarantee that our timber suppliers meet or exceed these strict guidelines, we
require proof of their Notification of Operation Number.
No Wood Goes to Waste
We believe we have a responsibility to be as efficient as possible with the
timber we harvest. To do this, we utilize every part of the log, leaving no
waste. The bark removed from a log is used for landscaping bark or mulch, the
wood chips are used to make paper products, and the sawdust and planer shavings
are sold to make pressed board products.
