Select kiln-dried Western Red Cedar boards for those that prefer the rustic knots. Ideal for garden beds. Board is an actual 7/8" thick board in a Select Tight Knot grade (STK), allowing for tight knots and graded on the rough side. This style Cedar board is often used for siding and fencing, among other exterior projects. Boards are kiln-dried. This material is S1S2E (surfaced 1 side and 2 edges) meaning one side (face) is left rough, and the other side and edges are planed smooth. The rough side is often preferred as being exposed for its rustic appearance, but either side can be visible.
Western Red Cedar is a softwood known for its stability, straight grain and durability in exterior climates. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and decay without any treatment. Western Red Cedar is normally reddish-brown in color but the color can vary from board to board. Cedar ages to a natural silver-gray color when left unfinished outdoors. Western Red Cedar is very popular to use in exterior projects like decks, garden beds, arbors, fences, shingles, and siding to name just a few. Cedar is sometimes favored over treated yellow pine for exterior projects due to it being lighter and more stable. Cedar does have acid properties which can be corrosive to some metals, therefore copper, stainless steel or galvanized nails or screws should be used.

This cedar wood came in on time and was exactly what I ordered. Finished on three sides and rough cut on the other was just what I was looking for. Kudos to you folks and your team! Thank You Again!

Good quality and careful packaging
I ordered three pieces of 1x8 cedar lumber from the Total Wood Store because I do not want to visit the local lumberyard in person due to the pandemic. The purchase cost and shipping of this item were on the high side. However, I was pleasantly surprised when FedEx ground dropped the package near my door. The lumber was protected with cardboard pieces along all edges inside the outer cardboard box. I ordered lumber online from other lumberyards in the past, and the lumber never arrived protected this way. I will likely order more lumber from Total Wood Store if the pandemic will not subside soon.
