Atlantic White Cedar is a lightweight, fine-grained softwood prized for its natural resistance to decay and insects. Its pale, silvery-tan coloring and subtle grain make it a visually appealing choice for both interior paneling and exterior siding, especially in coastal or high-humidity environments. Because of its low density and excellent workability, it’s also commonly used for shingles, boatbuilding, and specialty millwork.
This species is known for its dimensional stability and pleasant aromatic scent. It takes stains and finishes well, but is equally attractive left unfinished, developing a soft silver-gray patina when exposed to the elements over time. Sustainably harvested in limited regions along the East Coast, Atlantic White Cedar is both functional and beautiful—a premium option for projects that call for lightweight durability and a refined natural look.
