Western Red Cedar () is a soft wood that works easily but dents readily, with a Janka hardness of 381 lbf (1695 N) and a density of about 0.32 g/cm³. It originates from north america.
With radial shrinkage of 2.4% and tangential shrinkage of 5% (a T/R ratio of 2.08), it is moderately stable — allow for seasonal movement in wide boards. Its fiber saturation point is around 28%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
