Northern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis.) may also go by the name of Eastern White Cedar.
Heartwood is light reddish brown. Relatively narrow sapwood is nearly white and isn’t always sharply or clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Numerous small pin knots are not uncommon in some pieces—especially in wood harvested from smaller ornamental trees.
Hardness = 320 on the Janka scale
Northern Cedar is rated as durable to very durable regarding decay resistance.
Although found through out many parts of Ontario Northern White Cedar is not very plentiful in our area of Southern Ontario so although we make every effort to keep it in stock quantities may be limited at times.
