Spanish Cedar Lumber

Grown throughout Central and South America, Spanish Cedar is a popular construction timber. It is also widely used for furniture as well as paneling in this part of the world. In North America, Spanish Cedar is used more for high-end cabinetry, clothing chests, boat building, musical instruments, and even lead pencils. One of the most interesting uses for this wood is in humidors and linings for cigar boxes. It is a very fragrant wood, and is perfectly suited for this kind of storage.

Another interesting thing about Spanish Cedar is that it is not really cedar at all! It actually comes from a deciduous tree, and only got the name because of its distinctly cedar-like smell. And, it's not the wood that creates the fragrance, it's actually the oil in the heartwood of the tree that produces it.

Spanish Cedar trees average 100 feet in height and about six feet in diameter. They vary in color, but the heartwood usually ranges from a pinkish to a red that darkens as it ages. The sapwood is pink or white, with a straight grain and fine texture throughout the tree.
