A beautiful customer project featuring clear Yellow Cedar. 🌲
Project completed by: &
Yellow Cedar is a great choice for saunas thanks to its natural durability, fine straight grain and smooth, clean appearance. It’s also naturally resistant to decay and is free from pitch and resin.

Because Yellow Cedar grows so slowly, its growth rings are tightly packed, giving the wood a dense, consistent look and great stability.

Clear Yellow Cedar takes that beautiful natural appearance even further, with minimal knots for a clean finish like you see in this sauna.

Always great seeing where our lumber ends up!
