Custom Milling
Due to the smaller diameter of the Northern White Cedar tree, generally the most common widths that we make our lumber and paneling are 3” – 6” widths. With the smaller diameter of the Northern White Cedar tree, you will get a lot of variance in color and wood grains, which makes this wood an ideal choice for making furniture, paneling, or any other project.

Northern White Cedar Lumber FAQ
Northern White Cedar is a durable, lightweight softwood known for its natural resistance to rot, insects, and decay. It has a warm, rustic appearance with natural color variation and grain patterns, making it ideal for both structural and decorative projects.
Our cedar is sustainably sourced from forests in Northern Minnesota near the Canadian border. The timber is responsibly harvested to maintain healthy forests and ensure long-term supply.
We primarily offer two forms of Northern White Cedar lumber. Tongue-and-groove paneling is commonly used for interior walls, ceilings, and siding, providing a clean finished look that adds warmth and texture to a space. We also produce rough-sawn lumber that maintains a more natural texture and can be milled to custom thicknesses and widths. This type of lumber works well for furniture, siding, rustic beams, and other custom woodworking projects.
