Silky Cedar
One of the most sustainably sourced cedars in North America.
Silky Cedar is incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), which is a "cousin" to the more well known Western Red Cedar. Although equal in workability and practical applications, Incense Cedar has much lower demand than its reddish counterpart. It takes its name from how it performs outdoors: left unfinished, it weathers to a smooth, silky surface and a silver patina. It's a natural fit for siding, fencing, and residential decking, and accepts a clear or tinted finish beautifully. We source it from Pacific Northwest forest thinning and post-fire removal, part of what makes it one of the most sustainable cedars in North America.
