Character / Color:
The name cedar immediately calls to mind the aromatic scent that comes from this wood. The reddish brown cedar has a naturally shiny surface with very fine grain. The narrow late wood zones give the radial wood texture a pronounced feathery, striated grain. This results in a veneer with a quiet and inviting radiance. Throughout the world many different types of wood are sold under the name "cedar". The slow-growing cedar of Lebanon, at more than 3000 years old, is one of the world's oldest trees.
