Western Red Cedar Lumber for Every Application

Western Red Cedar Lumber: you asked for it, we listened, and it’s here! The Lumber Baron is now stocking a full line of #2 and better, clear old growth, vertical grain WRCedar products for sale. Known for its tight grain structure, distinct aroma, resistance to decay, and beauty, our Western Red Cedar lumber is a wonderful choice for decking, siding, fencing, posts or a trellis. No need to worry about sustainability, all of our WRCedar lumber is 100% PEFC Certified.

Light in weight, durable, and easy to work with, WRCedar has been a popular construction material for many years. With a heartwood that ranges in color from reddish to pinkish brown, often with streaks of dark brown, Western Red Cedar (or WRC) is easily workable. It glues and stains well and is rot and insect resistant. We highly recommend you use stainless steel with WRCedar as “bleeding” (black streaking) is a common occurrence when used in conjunction with iron based fasteners.
