It’s easy to enhance any design or build with natural Western Red Cedar boards. Western Red Cedar from Russin is available in a variety of grades to meet your design needs. Because it’s is so versatile and lightweight, cedar is easy to use across a wide range of projects. From the stunning appearance of clear vertical grain to the interesting, rustic charm of knotty boards, Russin carries a grade that suits your style and your budget. We also use Western Red Cedar to create Fortress Trim, a line of primed fingerjointed clear vertical grain trim boards, ensuring you can complete every piece of your build with nature’s best material. We’re proud of the huge number of options we provide when it comes to Western Red Cedar – let’s find the right one for your project.
Clear Vertical Grain Heart boards are the highest grade available. Many pieces are completely clear, while others may have minor imperfections that do not detract from the overall appearance. CVG boards offer excellent dimensional stability and take finishes very well.
A & Better boards permit more imperfections than CVG boards, but each board will still be highly restricted in imperfections allowed and will maintain an excellent overall appearance. Pieces are of mixed grain (vertical and flat).
D and Better boards permit a more natural board to come through, with fewer restrictions on the number and size of imperfections allowed. Great for finishing.
Select Knotty boards allow knots and other natural features of the wood define the visual character of knotty grades. Select Knotty grade knots are sound and tight, and won't impact the integrity of the board.
Kiln dried boards available in a wide assortment of grades to meet any design need.
