Incense Cedar has a wide range of qualities and uses and is highly rated in a majority of physical properties used to classify wood. These include natural durability, stability, shrinkage, checking, weathering, warping, insulation value and workability. Not to mention that its warmth, its natural beauty and even its aroma can turn a room into a haven of comfort and security. These are attributes recognized by Native Americans and the early settlers of the Northwest. In recent years, Incense Cedar has been marketed as Western Cedar. This caused many people to believe that Incense Cedar was no longer available. Now C&D Lumber is producing and marketing true Incense Cedar and has an ample supply to meet the demand that is sure to grow.
