About Cedar Log Furniture: There are a few properties that are unique to log furniture. All of our logs are small -diameter cedar trees. Because we use the whole tree in our furnishings, all logs will have cracks or checks. This is a natural phenomenon that is part of the drying process of logs. As our logs are dried for use in furniture, the wood shrinks in length, width, and radially around the heart of the tree. As tension develops in the wood due to shrinkage, the log splits to relieve tension. These splits or cracks are known as "checks" in the log. All logs that contain the heart of the tree will develop lengthwise cracks or checks. The check will not go deeper than the heart, consequently, the structural integrity of the log is compromised very little. The checks are natural and are part of the character of the log furniture.
Additional Information:
Our Northern Cedar, natural and untreated, is grown in the northeastern region of the US. We carefully select cedar trees growing in moist swampy woodlands. Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine. Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory highest rating for decay and disease resistance. Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent. Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, pale tan or light gold. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray. Water-based or Oil stains will delay the weathering process.
