Cedar
Cedar is a narrow, greyish red splinter, reddish-yellow / brownish core wood with a mahogany-color that becomes more intense with time. It is a softer wood with medium breaking strength, low impact and bending strength while also being resistant to fungi and insects. This species has little shrinkage and a good dimensional stability. Cedar is ideal as exterior cladding, moldings, boat building, canoes, cigar boxes (regulates the humidity for the benefit of the cigars), musical instruments and boxes.
