White cedar log furniture is one of the most beautiful, and cost-effective, log furniture options available today. The right choice of wood for your log furniture, combined with quality construction and effective design, will produce a functional look that is truly aesthetically pleasing. White cedar is the best wood options for log furniture today, and one of the best sellers in our log furniture store.

Physical Properties

The fact that white cedar wood is soft doesn’t mean it isn’t durable. In fact, this beautiful wood is very sturdy and long-lasting. The natural preservative oils in white cedar make it one of the most decay resistant, durable woods available. Though a very firm wood, white cedar is not hard and unyielding, which makes it more comfortable for our log porch swings and other white cedar seating items.

Because the preservative oils in white cedar are natural, there are no chemicals leaching out from the wood's surface. The supple texture make white cedar extremely stable and an unlikely candidate for warping, although some checking does occur in white cedar logs. Free of pitch and resin, white cedar also holds paints and treatments exceptionally well. White cedar is also known for its resistance to splintering, which also enhances its comfort quotient as an indoor or outdoor log seating option. This is a property that even red cedar and redwood cannot claim.

Aesthetics

White cedar is the only wood that naturally weathers to a light, silvery gray. While other woods may weather into a mottled gray or even black, white cedar (when left unfinished outdoors) remains a beautiful light gray in color. This creates a marvelous visual effect with minimal maintenance.

White cedar logs are creamy white, similar in color to white pine logs. However, the white cedar has more coloration, knots, and character, making it a truly beautiful wood.
