The best cedar…
naturally beautiful.

At Downie Timber and Selkirk Cedar, we produce a wide variety of finished cedar products. Western Red Cedar, is without question, nature’s most beautiful wood. It’s truly the best cedar! In addition to offering a deeply textured grain and incredibly warm colour, it’s both durable and dimensionally stable. As well, its natural oils resist insects and decay.

Western Red grows abundantly in the Pacific Northwest Coastal and Interior forests of British Columbia. The tree is one of the longest living species found in North America and is the most decay and insect-resistant of all the softwood species and is renowned for its naturally occurring resistance to moisture.

It also grows abundantly in the Coastal and Interior forests of British Columbia. Being one of the longest living species found in North America, it is the most decay and insect resistant of all softwood species. It’s light in weight, uniformly textured, straight grained and contains no resin.
