#yellow cedar

I found someone local who was selling rough cut 1 x 6 yellow cedar (Cupressus nootkatensis) for a very good price. The wood is aromatic and very rot resistant. I will figure out what to do with it, maybe some wooden chests and of course birdhouses. 

A type of tree species native to the Pacific Northwest of North America is the yellow cedar, commonly referred to as the western yellow cedar. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, sometimes known as Western yellow cedar, is its scientific name. A well-liked option for many uses, including planter boxes, yellow cedar is widely prized for its enduring and decay-resistant wood.

A planter box fashioned from the wood of the yellow cedar tree is known as a yellow cedar planter. These planters are valued for their pristine appearance, durability, and resistance to rust and decay. For growing plants, flowers, or vegetables in gardens, patios, or outdoor areas, yellow cedar planters are frequently used.

The planter's beauty is enhanced by the use of yellow cedar wood, which has a unique yellowish hue and a fine, straight grain. Yellow cedar is renowned for its unique oils and chemicals that guard it against insect damage and decay, in addition to its visual appeal, enabling the planter to resist outside conditions for a prolonged period of time.

Elevated planting boxes or cedar planters combine usefulness and aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice for both garden lovers and homeowners, whether they are used for attractive plants or utilitarian gardening.
