General Characteristics

Spanish Cedar is closely related to and resembles Mahogany; however, it is lighter in weight, and the grain pattern is more coarse and softer in texture.

It is a relatively stable wood that machines very well with standard woodworking tools.

The more desirable grades are primarily all heartwood with a pale brown to light pink tint.


Typical Applications

Spanish Cedar is resistant to decay and dry wood termites which makes it a popular choice for exterior applications.
