Cedar Wood Shims

Cedar wood is a versatile and durable domestic hardwood. Although there are many different types of cedar trees, the ones most commonly used for their lumber are Eastern and Western Red Cedar.

Cedar is prized for many reasons. It is naturally weather and insect resistant, gives off a pleasing and recognizable scent, and is aesthetically attractive to look at.

The color of red cedar wood starts out a rich reddish brown- a slightly redder color than cherry wood- but can vary greatly depending on the growing conditions of the tree and tends to change over time as it is exposed to sunlight and oxygen.
