Cedar Wood

A fragrant, naturally rot-resistant softwood known for its aromatic oils, reddish-brown heartwood, and insect-repelling properties. While cedar is not commonly used for cabinet face materials, it is popular for lining closet cabinets, pantry shelves, and specialty storage because its natural oils deter moths and other pests. Cedar adds a warm, rustic character when used as an accent material in kitchen design.
