Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata)

We work in close cooperation with a small company based near Vancouver, British Columbia, which specializes in hand deconstruction of old growth cedar sawmills.  The reclaimed lumber and timbers are carefully salvaged from buildings which are being removed so that the mills can expand and modernize their facilities.  Red Cedar is as rot and bug resistant as redwood and is used extensively for outdoor applications or where the wood is exposed to the weather (decks, porch posts, railings, trellises, foundation support beams, siding).  The honey colored wood is also used as paneling inside homes.  Another specialized use for Western Red Cedar is for sauna construction.

      Reclaimed timbers are materials grown in another age, some as far back as 2000 years ago. They are highly valued in traditional Japanese joinery, timber framing, as well as in furniture, fireplace mantles, outdoor trellises, benches, walkways, arbors, fine jointery and exterior and foundation grade applications where redwood's unsurpassed qualities of rot and bug resistance will ensure that the wood will remain strong and stable for years and years.

There is a commercial airport in Arcata (serviced by United Express and Horizon Airlines) and several non-commercial airfields in the Eureka area.  If you plan to fly in, let us know and we will pick you up.
